Remedial sealant in Westhampnett
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. Typical jobs include floor or wall movement joints that have failed and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, on botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and failed movement joints.
In a village or hamlet like Westhampnett, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Common problems we fix in Westhampnett
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks. At that point it has to come out.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Torn expansion joints
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
For landlords with property near Chichester station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured?
- When the joint can take water or movement

Do you take on hotel work around Westhampnett?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, then the joint is resealed once.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Deal with small splits early
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
What remedial sealant looks like in Westhampnett
Westhampnett has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Peter, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like The March CofE Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
