Remedial sealant in Hucking, done properly
In Hucking, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. We strip each one back and start from scratch. If you have torn expansion joints and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Hucking, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. 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 12-month guarantee.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Hucking needs a little journey planning: 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 protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Questions from Hucking
I let a flat near Hollingbourne station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Hucking?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
What does remedial sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Deal with small splits early
- Never seal over old silicone
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
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.
Remedial sealant in Hucking: local notes
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.
Letting a property close to Hollingbourne station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. If you live in an older home near Church of St Margaret, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces.
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a low-modulus product.
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

- Failed movement joints
