Why deal with it now?
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. In a small place like Little Chart Forstal, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere as small as Little Chart Forstal, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

It takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. We’ll give you a timescale when we quote.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe

What we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant

- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
Signs you need remedial sealant in Little Chart Forstal
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Torn expansion joints
For landlords with property near Charing station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Remedial sealant in Little Chart Forstal: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, 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 St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We take care not to make it worse, and tell you about any damage we find.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom before resealing.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. New silicone does not bond to old.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
How we quote for remedial sealant
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether the work is at height
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 make a difference.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
- The type of property
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details and send photos if you have them.
