Remedial sealant in Hollingbourne, done properly
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. It helps to have pictures when you ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email, along with when it was last resealed. If you’re dealing with products that weren’t meant for the joint and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Hollingbourne, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hollingbourne and across Kent.

What we’re called out for in Hollingbourne
Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- A second bead peeling off the first
Rented homes near Hollingbourne station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
What your quote should include
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether VAT is included
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Are they insured?

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Check trays and worktops do not move
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like Hollingbourne needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Remedial sealant in Hollingbourne: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Hollingbourne Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

How we quote for remedial sealant
There’s no set price list. What we look at:

- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:

What happens if it’s left?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It doesn’t grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. In a small place like Hollingbourne, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- Fully insured
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone does not clean out for good. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal in a colour to suit.

How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. Most jobs take a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then strip and reseal the joints.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, then the joint is resealed once.
What does remedial sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
