Burham homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Burham Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Rented homes near Snodland station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant won’t fix it. We say so rather than reseal.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Burham
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

What happens if it’s left?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. In a small place like Burham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Old sealant always removed completely

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Burham needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.

- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.

Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Questions from Burham
Is Burham in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Burham is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Burham?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. Repeat leaks usually come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, so we find that first.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. We point out any damage that is already there.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
