Remedial sealant in Hales Place from a team with over 20 years’ experience. Rated 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews.

- Torn expansion joints
Why deal with it now?
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. In a smaller place like Hales Place, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why us?
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Full insurance on every job
About our remedial sealant in Hales Place
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and expansion joints, and people most often call us about torn expansion joints and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones.
Even in a smaller place like Hales Place, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Remedial sealant around Hales Place
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. Hales Place has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Letting a property close to Canterbury West station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. If you look after a building such as St Stephen's Junior School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Do you need remedial sealant in Hales Place?
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, and the joint starts to come away early.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Black mould underneath the bead
Homes close to Church of St Stephen include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out for a typical job. Parking around Hales Place is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

How the job changes by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler can’t move. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead will not scrub out. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.

Do you work in hotels near Hales Place?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.

Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.

Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers the work, and we’re fully insured.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
We will tell you. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, and we will not reseal for the sake of it.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
The number of joints and layers decides it. You will have a timescale before any work begins.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
