Landlords, agents and businesses in Biddenden
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
About our remedial sealant in Biddenden
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. Send pictures when you ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, along with when it was last resealed. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are dark patches showing through the sealant and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop.
Around Biddenden, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Common problems we fix in Biddenden
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints split any bead that’s too stiff or too thin.
The most common problems we see are:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
Letting a property close to Headcorn station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

What else we do in Biddenden
What we cannot put right

What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces before backing and resealing.
Biddenden questions
Is Biddenden within the area you cover?
Yes, Biddenden is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Biddenden for remedial sealant?
Yes, Biddenden is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. We’ll tell you before we start.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
What does remedial sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
What happens if it’s left?
Another bead over the top will not fix a failed joint. It can’t bond to what’s underneath, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Older cottages and farmhouses around Biddenden can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Biddenden homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like John Mayne Church of England Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of All Saints, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
