Remedial sealant in Hackington
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. Common call-outs are for over-sealed joints coming away and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, on botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Homes around Hackington are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What else we do in Hackington
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before

Why deal with it now?
Another bead over the top will not fix a failed joint. It does not grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. In a small place like Hackington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Remedial sealant around Hackington
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as The Archbishop's School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around Church of St Cosmus and St Damian, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Hackington
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
For landlords with property near Canterbury West station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

How it works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere like Hackington needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- 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.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
Common questions in Hackington
Will you come out to Hackington?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Canterbury West station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers the work, and we’re ARBOMaster approved.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone won’t bond to silicone.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Hackington?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
