Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Farthingloe
In Farthingloe, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: 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. If you are dealing with a second bead peeling off the first and torn expansion joints, we can help, on botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and failed movement joints alike.
In a village or hamlet like Farthingloe, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Surface by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and tell you about any damage we find.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out so the new sealant starts clean.
Farthingloe questions
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Farthingloe?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dover Priory station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
Then we explain what we have found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you need remedial sealant in Farthingloe?
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, faster where ventilation is poor. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
For landlords with property near Dover Priory station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the cure time is
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Farthingloe 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.
- 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.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many areas need sealing
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
We quote each job on its own. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details, and photos are welcome.
What remedial sealant looks like in Farthingloe
Farthingloe is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Farthingloe has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Managing a site like Aycliffe Community Primary School? Then 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. For an older house near a landmark such as Aycliffe Church Centre, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Joints and surfaces we work on
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
Why deal with it now?
Ripping out a bathroom is not normally needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing generally puts it right. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. Around Farthingloe, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
