- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

How we handle remedial sealant in Goldhanger
In Goldhanger, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. Each is stripped back and done again properly. If you’re dealing with dark patches showing through the sealant and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Goldhanger, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Questions from Goldhanger
Can you do remedial sealant in Goldhanger?
Yes, Goldhanger is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is remedial sealant in Goldhanger guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes, generally. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Deal with small splits early
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
DIY versus a professional 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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like Goldhanger needs a little journey planning: 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 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.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Goldhanger homes and their sealant
Goldhanger is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

When to call us in Goldhanger
Joint depth matters. 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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Torn expansion joints
Around Goldhanger, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
