About our remedial sealant in Hawkhurst
A joint that keeps failing usually 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. If you have wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and over-sealed joints coming away, we can help, on shrunken worktop sealant, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints alike.
Around Hawkhurst, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Should I try it myself first?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
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.

What else we do in Hawkhurst
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out for a typical job. For a job in Hawkhurst, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
FAQs for Hawkhurst
Is Hawkhurst within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Hawkhurst?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
In that case, we tell you what we’ve found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes, with care. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, then clean off the residue. We point out any damage that’s already there.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone won’t bond to silicone.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. For most joints, it’s a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
Do you need remedial sealant in Hawkhurst?
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What to look for in a quote
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How long to leave it before use
What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. That needs refixing before resealing, which we will point out.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tray edges and screen profiles included.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
