Remedial sealant in Heronden
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. If you have sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and products that weren’t meant for the joint, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Heronden, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould generally points to a damp, poorly aired room. We will reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning before resealing.
Heronden homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you let a flat or house near Sandwich station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

What happens if it’s left?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we’ll tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Heronden, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Common problems we fix in Heronden
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, faster where ventilation is poor. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Look out for these signs:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Eastry Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
