How we handle remedial sealant in Great Chart
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our 12-month guarantee. We’re often asked to deal with gaps opening along the back of the worktop and repeat leaks from the same joint, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
For a small place like Great Chart, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What remedial sealant looks like in Great Chart
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Great Chart Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Rented homes near Ashford International station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
Great Chart is about 1 mile west of Ashford, in Kent. Jobs in Great Chart get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Tiles that have come away from the wall

Questions from Great Chart
Do you cover Great Chart for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Great Chart is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Ashford International station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Why deal with it now?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Great Chart, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before we start.

How we quote for remedial sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out

- Any mould that needs treating
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The type of property
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any previous sealing or DIY work

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Great Chart, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Run the fan after every shower
- Check trays and worktops do not move
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: generally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
