How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like Cliffe, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

About our remedial sealant in Cliffe
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. A tray that moves, a worktop that is not fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. Common call-outs are for movement joints that have split or pulled away and a second bead peeling off the first, on expansion joints, failed movement joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
In a village or hamlet like Cliffe, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Common problems we fix in Cliffe
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
If you look after a building such as St Helen's Church of England Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Remedial sealant around Cliffe
Cliffe is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Higham station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. If you live in an older home near Church of St Helen, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Cliffe
Is Cliffe in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Cliffe is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Cliffe 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.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
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 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. We point out any damage that’s already there.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we will agree it with you first.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Why act early in Cliffe
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. Older cottages and farmhouses around Cliffe can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

How the job changes by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning.
