Remedial sealant & repairs in East Street, Kent
We cover East Street for removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.

Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in East Street
Remedial jobs in East Street normally fall into a few patterns: 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 are often asked to deal with black mould underneath the bead and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared, on expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints.
For a small place like East Street, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
If you manage several properties in or around East Street, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
Do you need remedial sealant in East Street?
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, faster where ventilation is poor. At that point it has to come out.
The most common problems we see are:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
Homes close to Church of St Nicholas include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Who turns up on the day
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like East Street, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

What happens if it’s left?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing normally puts it right. If they’re not, we’ll tell you. In a small place like East Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

Do you fix expansion and movement joints?

Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. We’ll take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
