What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal.
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant won’t fix it. We say so rather than reseal.
About our remedial sealant in Aylesham
Water on the floor doesn’t always mean failed silicone. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. Typical jobs include a second bead peeling off the first and torn expansion joints, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints.
In a smaller place like Aylesham, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What happens if it’s left?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It can’t bond to what’s underneath, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. In an older home around Aylesham, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed

Aylesham: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Aylesham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Aylesham within the area you cover?
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.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
Then we explain what we have found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter.
What remedial sealant looks like in Aylesham
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Aylesham Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Aylesham station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

What affects the quote in Aylesham
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will send you a clear quote before any work starts.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. A visit to Aylesham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.

What else we do in Aylesham
Do you need remedial sealant in Aylesham?
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
For an older house near a landmark such as St Peter, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
