Remedial Sealant in Benover
Our applicators work in Benover on removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Benover, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Remedial sealant in Benover, done properly
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint will not last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. Typical jobs include over-sealed joints coming away and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, across expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
Somewhere as small as Benover, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

When to call us in Benover
Even good sealant ages. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Torn expansion joints
For landlords with property near Yalding station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. For most joints, it’s a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Where do you work from?

Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The type of property
- The rough size of the job
- A few pictures by email, if you can
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Remedial sealant around Benover
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.
If you look after a building such as Hunton Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around St Peter's and St Paul's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Leave it or put it right?
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Around Benover, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

How the job changes by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so we spend extra time cleaning before resealing.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Never seal over old silicone
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
