The process
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a village or hamlet like Great Kimble, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.

Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Great Kimble
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. We work on failed movement joints, expansion joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and the jobs we see most are sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and dark patches showing through the sealant.
Around Great Kimble, it’s 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces.
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.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Great Kimble
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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Great Kimble Church of England School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Common problems we fix in Great Kimble
All sealant wears out eventually. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Torn expansion joints
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
Letting a property close to Little Kimble station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- What preparation is included
- Are they insured?
- How long the guarantee is
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
Your questions about remedial sealant in Great Kimble
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Little Kimble station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Great Kimble?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How long does the work take?
It takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. We’ll give you a timescale when we quote.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. There’s normally a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, and we deal with the cause first.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
Leave it or put it right?
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. Older cottages and farmhouses around Great Kimble can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
