Remedial sealant in Fosten Green
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. We work on failed movement joints, shrunken worktop sealant and botched or over-sealed joints, and people most often call us about thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared.
Being in a small place like Fosten Green makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Leave it or put it right?
Repeat failures have a cause. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. In a small place like Fosten Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is normally part of the cause. We’ll reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed with a low-modulus product.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints

How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Fosten Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
Fosten Green homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to St Margaret's Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Fosten Green: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Headcorn station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Fosten Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Do you need remedial sealant in Fosten Green?
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, can’t flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Over-sealed joints coming away
Rented homes near Headcorn station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
