Horton Kirby: your questions answered
Will you come out to Horton Kirby?
Yes. Horton Kirby is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Horton Kirby for remedial sealant?
Yes, Horton Kirby is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If we’ve pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. We take our time over removal, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Why it’s worth doing now in Horton Kirby
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Older cottages and farmhouses around Horton Kirby can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Why book with us
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

What we’re called out for in Horton Kirby
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
Homes close to The Parish Church of Saint Mary include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Which colour the sealant will be
Remedial sealant around Horton Kirby
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Horton Kirby Church of England Primary School? Then 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 landlords with property near Farningham Road station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Never seal over old silicone
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
What we cannot put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like Horton Kirby needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property
