Bathrooms and kitchens in Bloodden
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Innocents, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Schools such as Adisham Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

About our remedial sealant in Bloodden
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. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and people most often call us about torn expansion joints and repeat leaks from the same joint.
Being in a small place like Bloodden makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlord and commercial work in Bloodden
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured.
How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a village or hamlet like Bloodden, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
Give the new sealant its full cure time: generally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a low-modulus product.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom.

Questions from Bloodden
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Adisham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you do remedial sealant in Bloodden?
Yes, Bloodden is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
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.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you need remedial sealant in Bloodden?
Even good sealant ages. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
For landlords with property near Adisham station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Leave it or put it right?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we will tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bloodden, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
