About our remedial sealant in Chartham Hatch
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. If you have thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Chartham Hatch, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Chartham Hatch
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Chartham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Chartham Hatch?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes, with care. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, then clean off the residue. Any existing damage is pointed out before we start.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
We will tell you. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing won’t fix it, and we will not reseal for the sake of it.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
Why act early in Chartham Hatch
Ripping out a bathroom is not generally needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chartham Hatch, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- We are fully insured

How it works
We work through the job in order: 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. For a village or hamlet like Chartham Hatch, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- 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.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone does not bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Landlords and letting agents in Chartham Hatch can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints

Common problems we fix in Chartham Hatch
Even good sealant ages. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, faster where ventilation is poor. At that point it has to come out.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Torn expansion joints
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
Rented homes near Chartham station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Remedial sealant in Chartham Hatch: local notes

Schools such as The Canterbury Academy are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
