How we handle remedial sealant in Luddesdown

Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What remedial sealant looks like in Luddesdown
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you look after a building such as Meopham School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Luddesdown: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sole Street station?

Do you cover smaller places like Luddesdown?
Yes, Luddesdown is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes, with our one-year guarantee. If we have pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Luddesdown?

Common problems we fix in Luddesdown
Products get mixed up: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
For landlords with property near Sole Street station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
Comparing quotes
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether VAT is included
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Luddesdown
Ripping out a bathroom is not normally needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing usually puts it right. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. Around Luddesdown, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Old sealant always removed completely
- One-year guarantee on every job
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- We are fully insured

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Luddesdown, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
