About our remedial sealant in Chatham Waterfront
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. Typical jobs include thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, on expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Around Chatham Waterfront, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Chatham Waterfront and across Medway.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Chatham Waterfront
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
Managing a site like Brompton-Westbrook Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

- How hidden problems are handled
- How long the guarantee is

When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Movement from fittings that are not supported

Remedial sealant around Chatham Waterfront
Chatham Waterfront is within about 3 miles of 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, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Chatham station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Homes close to Church of St John the Divine include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Chatham Waterfront
Is Chatham Waterfront within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Chatham Waterfront?
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.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Where mortar or filler has been used instead of sealant, it’s removed where it can be, then the joint is sealed properly.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
How the job changes by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, including the screen profile and tray edges.
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal colour-matched to the worktop.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. A visit to Chatham Waterfront is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Related advice
Why act early in Chatham Waterfront
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. In an older home around Chatham Waterfront, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
