Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Goathurst Common
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. If you’re dealing with beads that never stuck properly and products that weren’t meant for the joint, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Goathurst Common, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Remedial sealant in Goathurst Common: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary at South End of Village Green, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like Ide Hill Church of England Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Sevenoaks station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How much there is to do
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- A few photos by email, if you can
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We say so rather than reseal.
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.

What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a village or hamlet like Goathurst Common, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.

FAQs for Goathurst Common
Do you work for landlords with property near Sevenoaks station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Goathurst Common?
Yes, Goathurst Common is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. Any existing damage is pointed out before any work starts.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Both layers come out; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
