How we handle remedial sealant in Hythe
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and common reasons people get in touch are products that weren’t meant for the joint and floor or wall movement joints that have failed.
Homes around Hythe have been extended and refitted over the decades, some more than once. Sealant run over the top of an old bead is a common cause of leaks and mould, so we take every joint back to clean before anything new goes in.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In Hythe, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
What remedial sealant looks like in Hythe
Hythe is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Hythe Bay CofE Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of St Michael and All Angels include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Letting a property close to Sandling station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning before resealing.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hythe
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Leave it or put it right?
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Around Hythe, failed sealant lets water into hidden places, such as under the floor, behind a panel or into a wall. Left alone, that means rot, damp and a bigger repair.
