How we handle remedial sealant in Ickham
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. We work on expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and people most often call us about floor or wall movement joints that have failed and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared.
Somewhere as small as Ickham, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

What else we do in Ickham
How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We’ll tell you what we find.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ickham
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Common problems we fix in Ickham
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. Silicone does not bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wickhambreaux Church of England Primary 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.

Ickham questions
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Ickham?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bekesbourne station?
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 send you a clear quote.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
How long does the work take?
It takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Do you cover Ickham?
Yes. We’re based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Check trays and worktops do not move
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.

There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Ickham. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. 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.
Letting a property close to Bekesbourne station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. In the older streets around Church of St John, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away.

For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
