About our remedial sealant in Hensting
In Hensting, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. We strip each one back and start from scratch. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, shrunken worktop sealant and botched or over-sealed joints, and common reasons people get in touch are a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and dark patches showing through the sealant.
Somewhere as small as Hensting, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hensting
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Around Hensting, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Hensting, 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.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Remedial sealant in Hensting: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Trinity, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What we’re called out for in Hensting
Movement tears sealant that is not designed for it. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
The most common problems we see are:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
If you let a flat or house near Shawford station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

Common questions in Hensting
Do you cover Hensting for remedial sealant?
Yes, Hensting is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Hensting?
Yes. Hensting is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How long does remedial resealing take?
The number of joints and layers decides it. We’ll tell you before work begins.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
