About our remedial sealant in Lenham Forstal
Some sealant jobs aren’t 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 need stripping out. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and expansion joints, and people most often call us about a second bead peeling off the first and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area.
Around Lenham Forstal, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises
- Any mould that needs treating
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
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.
Lenham Forstal homes and their sealant
Lenham Forstal has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. 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.
Letting a property close to Lenham station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as The Lenham School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Trinity, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Common questions in Lenham Forstal
I let a flat near Lenham station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Lenham Forstal?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes, for 12 months. If we’ve pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Lenham Forstal.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Where mortar or filler has been used instead of sealant, it’s removed where it can be, and reseal with a flexible product.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
That is why we look for the cause first. 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.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. Expect the work to take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out.

- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

What happens if it’s left?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lenham Forstal can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
