Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Chevening
In Chevening, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. We strip each one back and start from scratch. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop.
For a small place like Chevening, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Why deal with it now?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. In a small place like Chevening, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Chevening, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

FAQs for Chevening
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dunton Green station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do remedial sealant in Chevening?

How long does remedial resealing take?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. We will tell you before any work starts.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
You will hear it from us. 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.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we will agree it with you first.

- Mould in or behind the old joints
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Every job is quoted individually. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job.
Chevening homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Dunton Green station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. In the older streets around Church of St Botolph, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

When to call us in Chevening
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
Schools such as Combe Bank School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead won’t scrub out. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. If the frame joint is not the cause, we’ll say so.
