Fant Remedial Sealant
Our applicators work in Fant on removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.

- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Fant
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. We’re often asked to deal with products that weren’t meant for the joint and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, on botched or over-sealed joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant.
Homes around Fant range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Fant homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near East Farleigh station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. If you look after a building such as Jubilee 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. In the older streets around Parish Church of St Andrew, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What else we do in Fant
What happens if it’s left?
Repeat failures have a cause. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. Around Fant, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied in most cases. A visit to Fant is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Surface by surface
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.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We take care not to make it worse, and point out any existing damage.

Common questions in Fant
I let a flat near East Farleigh station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you do remedial sealant in Fant?
Yes, Fant is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
