Goodnestone homes and their sealant
Goodnestone is close to 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. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Faversham station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Managing a site like Graveney Primary School? Then 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. In the older streets around St Bartholomew's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Goodnestone is about 2 miles east of Preston, in Kent.

Remedial sealant in Goodnestone, done properly
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. If you have sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and dark patches showing through the sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Goodnestone, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Goodnestone
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. In a small place like Goodnestone, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

What else we do in Goodnestone
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The process
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 the amount of work. Somewhere like Goodnestone needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Goodnestone questions
Will you come out to Goodnestone?
Yes, Goodnestone 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.
I let a flat near Faversham station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone doesn’t bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
What the job involves on each surface
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, in a colour that suits the frame.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. We check both before we reseal.
