Remedial sealant around Boyden Gate
Boyden Gate is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Chislet Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Herne Bay station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
Boyden Gate is about 3 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Boyden Gate is covered for remedial sealant. The work is guaranteed for a year.

Remedial sealant in Boyden Gate
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, expansion joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and people most often call us about movement joints that have split or pulled away and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split.
Homes around Boyden Gate are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Quotes for remedial sealant in Boyden Gate
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
Common problems we fix in Boyden Gate
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.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

Why deal with it now?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Older cottages and farmhouses around Boyden Gate can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Boyden Gate, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you are 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
