About our remedial sealant in Five Wents
Remedial jobs in Five Wents generally 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. Typical jobs include repeat leaks from the same joint and beads that never stuck properly, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and failed movement joints.
Homes around Five Wents are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Five Wents and across Kent.

What remedial sealant looks like in Five Wents
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Hollingbourne station change hands often, and 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 Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Five Wents
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
If you look after a building such as Sutton Valence Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether VAT is included
- What product goes in the joint

Is Five Wents in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Five Wents is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Hollingbourne station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
How long does remedial resealing take?
The number of joints and layers decides it. You will have a timescale before any work begins.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers the work.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes, with care. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, then clean off the residue. Any existing damage is pointed out before work begins.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Why it’s worth doing now in Five Wents
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Around Five Wents, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
What you get with us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- We’re fully insured

- We agree the colour with you first
See our cost guide or what customers say.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint can’t stretch. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, which we will point out.
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
