About our remedial sealant in Ashford Hill
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and remedial work carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and failed movement joints, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and mould trapped under a layer of silicone.
In a village or hamlet like Ashford Hill, 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.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Ashford Hill
Joint depth matters. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, can’t stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
If you let a flat or house near Midgham station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a small place like Ashford Hill, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Remedial sealant around Ashford Hill
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Paul, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you look after a building such as Ashford Hill 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.

How the job changes by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler can’t move. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, tray edges and screen profiles included.
Leave it or put it right?
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ashford Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
