Remedial sealant & repairs in Hollybushes, Kent
Failed sealant joints in Hollybushes need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a 12-month guarantee.

- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone

Common problems we fix in Hollybushes
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks. At that point it has to come out.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
Rented homes near Sittingbourne station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Remedial sealant in Hollybushes, done properly
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and every remedial job comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and expansion joints, and the jobs we see most are floor or wall movement joints that have failed and repeat leaks from the same joint.
In a village or hamlet like Hollybushes, 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.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What affects the quote in Hollybushes
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The amount of work
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The type of property
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Leave it or put it right?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It cannot bond to what’s underneath, 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 Hollybushes, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
What you get with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
Hollybushes questions
Do you cover smaller places like Hollybushes?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Sittingbourne station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, then the joint is resealed once.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere as small as Hollybushes, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Remedial sealant around Hollybushes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Milstead and Frinsted Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary and the Holy Cross, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Surface by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated.
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We will tell you what we find.
