Bulverhythe Remedial Sealant
We cover Bulverhythe for removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a 12-month guarantee.

About our remedial sealant in Bulverhythe
The wrong product in the wrong joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. If you’re dealing with kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, we can put it right, on shrunken worktop sealant, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant alike.
Somewhere as small as Bulverhythe, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Bulverhythe and everywhere else we cover.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Bulverhythe
Bulverhythe is within about 1 mile of 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. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as The St Leonards Academy are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near West St Leonards station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. In the older streets around St Ethelburga's Church Mission Hall, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first

Bulverhythe: your questions answered
Do you take on hotel work around Bulverhythe?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Do you cover smaller places like Bulverhythe?
Yes, Bulverhythe is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Both layers come out; over-sealing fails because silicone won’t bond to silicone.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
In that case, we tell you what we’ve found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter.

- The problem you’ve noticed

Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, which we will point out.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Do not point over movement joints
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. If anything changes, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
