About our remedial sealant in Grove
A joint that keeps failing generally has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints, and people most often call us about sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and black mould underneath the bead.
In a village or hamlet like Grove, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Grove and across Kent.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. If anything changes, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Grove
Movement tears sealant that is not designed for it. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints will split a rigid or thin bead.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- A second bead peeling off the first
If you look after a building such as Preston Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Grove homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Sturry station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Homes close to Church of St Mildred include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
Why deal with it now?
Ripping out a bathroom is not usually needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. In a small place like Grove, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
