Hollow Street Remedial Sealant
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Hollow Street? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
Why act early in Hollow Street
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hollow Street can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Hollow Street
- Colour picked to suit the job
- One-year guarantee on every job

About our remedial sealant in Hollow Street
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. Typical jobs include leaks that keep coming back after resealing and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, on botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and failed movement joints.
In a village or hamlet like Hollow Street, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hollow Street and across Kent.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The amount of work
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The type of property
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere as small as Hollow Street, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
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.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Hollow Street
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints will split a rigid or thin bead.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- A second bead peeling off the first
Rented homes near Sturry station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- How long the guarantee is
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether VAT is included
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Do not point over movement joints
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
