About our remedial sealant in Forstal
Water on the floor doesn’t always mean failed silicone. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. If that is what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. Common call-outs are for smears and lumps from a botched reseal and products that weren’t meant for the joint, on botched or over-sealed joints, expansion joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Somewhere as small as Forstal, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Forstal as everywhere else we work.

- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Deal with small splits early
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.

Do you need remedial sealant in Forstal?
Movement tears sealant that isn’t designed for it. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints will split a rigid or thin bead.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
Homes close to Methodist Church Including Sunday School include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Before booking anyone

- How long the guarantee is

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Forstal, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Common questions in Forstal
Do you cover Forstal for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Forstal is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aylesford station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
We check for that before we reseal. If the fault is elsewhere, you will know before any work is done.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
Allow a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. We will give you a timescale when we quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
What does remedial sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Where mortar or filler has been used instead of sealant, it’s removed where it can be, then the joint is sealed properly.
Remedial sealant around Forstal
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as St Peter's Church of England 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. If you let a flat or house near Aylesford station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, and we will tell you if we find it.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead will not scrub out. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
