FAQs for Boughton under Blean
Will you come out to Boughton under Blean?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Selling station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone doesn’t bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Remedial sealant in Boughton under Blean, done properly
In Boughton under Blean, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. We strip each one back and start from scratch. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and expansion joints, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop.
In a village or hamlet like Boughton under 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as Boughton under Blean, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
- The old material and how stubborn it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead will not scrub out. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Boughton under Blean
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
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 be quoted together.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Boughton under Blean
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.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Torn expansion joints
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
Homes close to St Barnabas include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What happens if it’s left?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Around Boughton under Blean, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
