Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Larkfield
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. Common call-outs are for sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, on shrunken worktop sealant, expansion joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
Around Larkfield, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom.
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Landlord and commercial work in Larkfield
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Larkfield and across Kent. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Larkfield: your questions answered
I let a flat near New Hythe station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you take on hotel work around Larkfield?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers the work.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Larkfield, along with the rest of our area.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
We check for that before we reseal. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Larkfield, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Larkfield homes and their sealant
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Larkfield. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near New Hythe station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Brookfield Junior School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of the Holy Trinity, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
