About our remedial sealant in Blean
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. If you are dealing with sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, we can help, on botched or over-sealed joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and failed movement joints alike.
In a village or hamlet like Blean, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Blean: your questions answered
I let a flat near Canterbury West station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Blean?
Yes. Blean is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
You’ll hear it from us. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, and we won’t reseal for the sake of it.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Allow a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.

Do you need remedial sealant in Blean?
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
Schools such as Blean Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Leave it or put it right?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Blean, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why Blean customers choose us
- We’re fully insured
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

Remedial sealant in Blean: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Cosmus and St Damian, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you let a flat or house near Canterbury West station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Blean, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- 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.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
What affects the quote in Blean
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Do not point over movement joints
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Surface by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, then reseal neatly.
