About our remedial sealant in Hothfield
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out. We work on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and expansion joints, and people most often call us about decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and over-sealed joints coming away.
For a small place like Hothfield, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Hothfield: your questions answered
I let a flat near Charing station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do remedial sealant in Hothfield?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Hothfield is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
How long does remedial resealing take?
The number of joints and layers decides it. We will tell you before work begins.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
Can I do 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 I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Hothfield homes and their sealant
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Hayesbrook School, 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. Letting a property close to Charing station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a village or hamlet like Hothfield, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler

What else we do in Hothfield
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Do not let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Common problems we fix in Hothfield
Movement tears sealant that is not designed for it. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes will split a rigid or thin bead.
The most common problems we see are:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Margaret, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
