Remedial sealant in Goudhurst, done properly
A joint that keeps failing generally has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that is not fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and expansion joints, and the jobs we see most are decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and a second bead peeling off the first.
Homes around Goudhurst are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
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.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
Remedial sealant around Goudhurst
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like Goudhurst and Kilndown Church of England 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.

What the job involves on each surface
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces before backing and resealing.
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Goudhurst
Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
If you let a flat or house near Marden station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. You’ll have a timescale before any work begins.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere as small as Goudhurst, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
