About our remedial sealant in Four Elms
A joint that keeps failing normally has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. If you’re dealing with floor or wall movement joints that have failed and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, we can put it right, on botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant alike.
In a village or hamlet like Four Elms, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The amount of work
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
- Which sealant suits the joint
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The address or postcode of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do you need remedial sealant in Four Elms?
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
If you let a flat or house near Edenbridge station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What product goes in the joint
- How much experience the applicator has
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Keep the room well ventilated
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: normally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Four Elms, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Four Elms homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Congregational Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Four Elms Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
