About our remedial sealant in Chattenden
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. Common call-outs are for mould trapped under a layer of silicone and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and expansion joints.
In a village or hamlet like Chattenden, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Chattenden, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access

Why act early in Chattenden
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. Older cottages and farmhouses around Chattenden can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

Remedial sealant around Chattenden
Chattenden is within about 2 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. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Strood station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Homes close to Bishop Gundulph Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
Managing a site like Chattenden Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
