How we handle remedial sealant in Chilham
A joint that keeps failing normally has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that is not fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. We’re often asked to deal with floor or wall movement joints that have failed and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, across botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints.
Around Chilham, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

FAQs for Chilham
Will you come out to Chilham?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Chilham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Chilham, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- 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
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Do you need remedial sealant in Chilham?
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, can’t stretch, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- A second bead peeling off the first
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chilham
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Landlords and letting agents in Chilham can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
How the job changes by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We’ll tell you what we find.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, then reseal neatly.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Do not point over movement joints
- Deal with small splits early
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Clean sealant with mild products only
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
