Remedial sealant & repairs in Lordswood, Medway
We cover Lordswood for removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Lordswood
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as St David's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For landlords with property near Chatham station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. If you look after a building such as St Benedict's Catholic Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
Lordswood is about 2 miles south of Chatham, in Medway. Lordswood gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Remedial sealant in Lordswood
The wrong product in the wrong joint fails however neatly it’s applied. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. Typical jobs include a second bead peeling off the first and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, across botched or over-sealed joints, expansion joints and failed movement joints.
Around Lordswood, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Lordswood and everywhere else we cover.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Leave it or put it right?
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. In an older home around Lordswood, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out and we leave things clean and tidy. Parking around Lordswood is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- 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.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
Surface by surface
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces before backing and resealing.
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal in a colour to suit.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. If anything changes, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
