Common questions in Ide Hill
Do you cover Ide Hill for remedial sealant?
Yes, Ide Hill is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sevenoaks station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
That’s why we look for the cause first. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. Repeat leaks normally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, and we deal with the cause first.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we are fully insured.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Ide Hill
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and failed movement joints, and the jobs we see most are a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and mould trapped under a layer of silicone.
Somewhere as small as Ide Hill, 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.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere like Ide Hill 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.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Why it’s worth doing now in Ide Hill
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we will tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ide Hill can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- More than 20 years in sealant work

When to call us in Ide Hill
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints will split a rigid or thin bead.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary at South End of Village Green, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Different surfaces, different methods
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed in a colour to suit.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and point out any existing damage.
