Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Brompton
Remedial jobs in Brompton generally fall into a few patterns: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. Each is stripped back and done again properly. If you have over-sealed joints coming away and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes around Brompton range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Common questions in Brompton
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Brompton?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Is Brompton within the area you cover?
Yes. Brompton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Brompton
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Remedial sealant in Brompton: local notes
Brompton is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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 Brompton Garrison Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For landlords with property near Chatham station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Brompton is about 1 mile east of Rochester, in Medway.

What happens if it’s left?
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. In a smaller place like Brompton, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

When to call us in Brompton
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.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Brompton-Westbrook Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The amount of work
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on the amount of work. For a job in Brompton, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Do not point over movement joints
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
