Leave it or put it right?
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It can’t bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Around Benenden, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Benenden
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out. If you have sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Benenden, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Benenden and across Kent.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:

Bathrooms and kitchens in Benenden
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.
Schools such as Benenden Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and 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.

Benenden: your questions answered
Can you do remedial sealant in Benenden?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Benenden is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Will you come out to Benenden?
Yes. Benenden is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
We’ll tell you. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, and we will not reseal for the sake of it.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. Most jobs take a few hours.
When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Benenden needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Related advice
Do you need remedial sealant in Benenden?
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St George, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, in a colour that suits the frame.
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler cannot move. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
