Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Great Canney
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. We are often asked to deal with beads that never stuck properly and movement joints that have split or pulled away, on shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and expansion joints.
Homes around Great Canney are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What remedial sealant looks like in Great Canney
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For landlords with property near North Fambridge station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Different surfaces, different methods
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, and then we reseal it neatly.
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.

Leave it or put it right?
Another bead over the top will not fix a failed joint. It cannot bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. In a small place like Great Canney, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Do you need remedial sealant in Great Canney?
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
Schools such as Cold Norton Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
