Remedial Sealant in Kitwood
Our applicators work in Kitwood on removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
Remedial sealant in Kitwood
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. If you have torn expansion joints and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Kitwood, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Do you need remedial sealant in Kitwood?
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 are:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
In the older streets around Church of the Good Shepherd, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint
- How hidden problems are handled
- Is VAT in the price?
- Are they insured?
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Kitwood, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work

What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Kitwood: your questions answered
Is remedial sealant in Kitwood guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Kitwood?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides.
How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone does not clean out for good. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, then reseal neatly.

Leave it or put it right?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Kitwood, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

Bathrooms and kitchens in Kitwood
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Four Marks Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
