On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere as small as Kempe's Corner, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.

How we handle remedial sealant in Kempe's Corner
The wrong product in the wrong joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. Typical jobs include black mould underneath the bead and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
Somewhere as small as Kempe's Corner, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Common questions in Kempe's Corner
Do you work for landlords with property near Wye station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Kempe's Corner?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, then the joint is resealed once.
How long does the work take?
A little longer than a standard reseal. For most joints, it’s a few hours.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. There’s normally a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, and we deal with the cause first.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Hidden water does the most damage: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Kempe's Corner, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Remedial sealant around Kempe's Corner
Kempe's Corner has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. 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 Wye station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. If you live in an older home near All Saints’ Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you look after a building such as Lady Joanna Thornhill Endowed Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- Any mould that needs treating
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- The rough size of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the property is
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved and send you a clear quote.
Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We’ll tell you what we find.
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
For anyone letting property in or around Kempe's Corner, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
