What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a village or hamlet like Chale, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Remedial sealant in Chale
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. Typical jobs include kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and expansion joints.
For a small place like Chale, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
When to call us in Chale
All sealant wears out eventually. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- A second bead peeling off the first
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
In and around Chale, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What to look for in a quote
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
- How long to leave it before use
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
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.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Chale
Chale is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Andrew's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Leave it or put it right?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Around Chale, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Will you come out to Chale?

What if the leak is not the sealant?
We check for that before we reseal. If the fault is elsewhere, you’ll know before any work is done.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
