Signs you need remedial sealant in Brabourne Lees
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints will split a rigid or thin bead.
The most common problems we see are:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Torn expansion joints
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What the job involves on each surface

What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Run the fan after every shower
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere as small as Brabourne Lees, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Move anything stored near the joints

What else we do in Brabourne Lees
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Brabourne Lees
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Westenhanger station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. If you look after a building such as Smeeth Community Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
