Boughton Lees homes and their sealant
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 Saint Christopher's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Schools such as Towers School and Sixth Form Centre are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Boughton Lees
A joint that keeps failing generally has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. We are often asked to deal with sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints.
Homes around Boughton Lees are mostly 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: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Boughton Lees
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
The most common problems we see are:
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
For landlords with property near Wye station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Surface by surface
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.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and tell you about any damage we find.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like Boughton Lees 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.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What happens if it’s left?
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. Around Boughton Lees, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
