Remedial sealant & repairs in Charing, Kent

Remedial sealant in Charing
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. If you have a second bead peeling off the first and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, we can help.
Even in a smaller place like Charing, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Common questions in Charing
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Charing station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do remedial sealant in Charing?
Yes, Charing is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, then the joint is sealed properly.
What sealant work can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a smaller place like Charing, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Do you need remedial sealant in Charing?
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
Look out for any of the following:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Torn expansion joints
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Charing Church of England Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured?
- What product goes in the joint
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Charing homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Charing station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone doesn’t clean out for good. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed with a low-modulus product.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
