About our remedial sealant in Highstreet
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our 12-month guarantee. If you have beads that never stuck properly and repeat leaks from the same joint, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Highstreet, 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.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Highstreet
Highstreet is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In and around Highstreet, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Letting a property close to Whitstable station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Highstreet is about 3 miles south-west of Whitstable, in Kent. From the centre of Highstreet to the outskirts, remedial sealant is available for homes and businesses alike. We cover 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We also work in Chelmsford, around 36 miles away.

How the job changes by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We take care not to make it worse, and tell you about any damage we find.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. Both are checked before any new sealant goes on.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Keep the room well ventilated
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
Leave it or put it right?
Ripping out a bathroom is not usually needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing generally puts it right. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Highstreet, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Rated 4.9 stars on Google
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a small place like Highstreet, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Your questions about remedial sealant in Highstreet
Do you cover smaller places like Highstreet?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Whitstable station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides, which lets it stretch.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
