FAQs for Houghton Green
Do you take on hotel work around Houghton Green?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Will you come out to Houghton Green?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we can. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
How long will the resealing take?
Allow a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. You’ll know how long to expect before we start.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s usually around 24 hours. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Houghton Green
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. Common call-outs are for gaps where the bath or tray has moved and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone, across baths, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks.
Around Houghton Green, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What we’re called out for in Houghton Green
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
The most common problems we see are:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
Homes close to The Parish Church of St Michael include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Bathroom resealing around Houghton Green
Houghton Green is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as St Michael's Church of England Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Rye station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. In a small place like Houghton Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
Why act early in Houghton Green
Sorting it now is quick: it takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Houghton Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
