What remedial sealant looks like in Hever
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hever Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Hever
All sealant wears out eventually. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, faster where ventilation is poor. At that point it has to come out.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Torn expansion joints
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
If you let a flat or house near Hever station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
Before you book anyone
- The length of the guarantee
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What preparation is included
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:

- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

Hever questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Hever station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Hever?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, then the joint is resealed once.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What does remedial sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a village or hamlet like Hever, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Getting ready for the visit

What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and tell you about any damage we find.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
Why act early in Hever
Another bead over the top will not fix a failed joint. It doesn’t grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hever, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
