Remedial sealant in Kirby-le-Soken, done properly
Water on the floor doesn’t always mean failed silicone. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. If that is what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. If you are dealing with mould trapped under a layer of silicone and movement joints that have split or pulled away, we can help, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant alike.
In a village or hamlet like Kirby-le-Soken, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out in most cases. Somewhere as small as Kirby-le-Soken, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- 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.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Common questions in Kirby-le-Soken
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kirby Cross station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Kirby-le-Soken for remedial sealant?

Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Kirby-le-Soken?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What happens if it’s left?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Older cottages and farmhouses around Kirby-le-Soken can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

How we quote for remedial sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler cannot move. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated so the new sealant starts clean.
Kirby-le-Soken homes and their sealant
Kirby-le-Soken is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Kirby Cross station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Managing a site like Kirby Primary Academy? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
