Remedial sealant & repairs in Kippington, Kent
Our applicators work in Kippington on removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
Remedial sealant in Kippington, done properly
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out. If you’re dealing with decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, we can help.
Around Kippington, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What affects the quote in Kippington
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether the work is at height
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Photos by email, if that is easy
Every job is quoted individually. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a smaller place like Kippington, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work

How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. That needs refixing before resealing, and we will tell you if we find it.
Questions from Kippington
Do you work for landlords with property near Sevenoaks station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Kippington?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. Most jobs take a few hours.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Common problems we fix in Kippington
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Thomas' Catholic Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Give the new sealant its full cure time: usually around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Kippington homes and their sealant
Kippington 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you let a flat or house near Sevenoaks station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
