How we handle remedial sealant in Cooling
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are dark patches showing through the sealant and torn expansion joints.
Somewhere as small as Cooling, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Cooling
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Cooling, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Cooling needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.

What sealant work cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in Cooling
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
When to call us in Cooling
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:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint

Common questions in Cooling
Do you cover Cooling for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Cooling is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Higham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Cooling
Cooling 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.
In the older streets around St James' Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
