About our remedial sealant in Fordcombe
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. Common call-outs are for gaps opening along the back of the worktop and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, on failed movement joints, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints.
For a small place like Fordcombe, 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.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Fordcombe as everywhere else we work.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Never seal over old silicone
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.

What else we do in Fordcombe
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Why act early in Fordcombe
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t usually needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing normally puts it right. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. Around Fordcombe, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

When to call us in Fordcombe

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Torn expansion joints
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared

Quotes for remedial sealant in Fordcombe
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- When we can work, for business premises
- Which sealant suits the joint
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Remedial sealant around Fordcombe
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Ashurst Kent station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. In the older streets around Church of St Peter, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
