Remedial sealant in Kencot
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. If you are dealing with dark patches showing through the sealant and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Kencot, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. 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 one-year guarantee in Kencot and across Oxfordshire.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Never seal over old silicone
- Deal with small splits early
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. New silicone doesn’t bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work usually takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a village or hamlet like Kencot, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
For remedial sealant in Kencot, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and you’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Leave it or put it right?
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Kencot, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Kencot: your questions answered
Can you do remedial sealant in Kencot?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Kencot is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Is remedial sealant in Kencot guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
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.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in Kencot.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
What does remedial sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
What sealant work cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
When to call us in Kencot
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Torn expansion joints
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- How long the guarantee is
- How long to leave it before use
- What insurance they hold
