Godinton questions
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Godinton?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Will you come out to Godinton?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If we’ve pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
In that case, we tell you what we’ve found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
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, and reseal with a flexible product.
Remedial sealant in Godinton
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. 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 have smears and lumps from a botched reseal and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes around Godinton range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on how much there is to do. For a job in Godinton, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Related advice
Why act early in Godinton
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Around Godinton, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Never seal over old silicone
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Godinton homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Godinton. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Rented homes near Ashford International station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Common problems we fix in Godinton
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Black mould underneath the bead
Schools such as Godinton Primary School are buildings too, and 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.
Questions to ask before booking
