Remedial sealant in Broad Ford, done properly
The wrong product in the wrong joint will not last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. If you are dealing with over-sealed joints coming away and black mould underneath the bead, we can put it right.
Homes around Broad Ford are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What happens if it’s left?
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. Around Broad Ford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

Broad Ford homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Horsmonden Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Marden station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. In the older streets around Church of St Margaret, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Questions from Broad Ford
Do you work for landlords with property near Marden station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Broad Ford?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. We’ll take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, then the joint is resealed once.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Allow a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. We will give you a timescale when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

Other services in Broad Ford
Different surfaces, different methods
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before we reseal.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning before resealing.

The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Broad Ford, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
