How we handle remedial sealant in Asheldham
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. Common call-outs are for wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and dark patches showing through the sealant, on expansion joints, failed movement joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Around Asheldham, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Why it’s worth doing now in Asheldham
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we will tell you. In a small place like Asheldham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Run the fan after every shower
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: usually around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

Common problems we fix in Asheldham
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone

Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.

Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
How long does remedial resealing take?
It takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. We will give you a timescale when we quote.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Quotes for remedial sealant in Asheldham
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The address or postcode of the job
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Remedial sealant in Asheldham: local notes
Asheldham is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, 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, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St James, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Asheldham, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
