Remedial sealant & repairs in Graveney, Kent
Removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right for homes and businesses in Graveney and across Kent. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How we handle remedial sealant in Graveney
Not every leak is a sealant leak. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. If that’s what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. We are often asked to deal with movement joints that have split or pulled away and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, on failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant.
In a village or hamlet like Graveney, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Graveney questions
Will you come out to Graveney?
Yes. Graveney is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Faversham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Where mortar or filler has been used instead of sealant, it’s removed where it can be, and reseal with a flexible product.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. For most joints, it’s a few hours.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. Where we’ve flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The product the joint needs
- Any mould that needs treating
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details.
Surface by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould generally points to a damp, poorly aired room. We’ll reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces.
What remedial sealant looks like in Graveney
Graveney is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Graveney Primary School, 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. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What we are called out for in Graveney
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
For landlords with property near Faversham station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Leave it or put it right?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. Removal is the only way to get at it, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. In a small place like Graveney, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere as small as Graveney, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
