Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Maltman's Hill
Remedial jobs in Maltman's Hill normally fall into a few patterns: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. Each is stripped back and done again properly. We work on expansion joints, botched or over-sealed joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and the jobs we see most are torn expansion joints and mould trapped under a layer of silicone.
Homes around Maltman's Hill are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed

How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, matched to the frame colour.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. We check both before we reseal.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Questions from Maltman's Hill
I let a flat near Pluckley station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Maltman's Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. We take our time over removal, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. You’ll have a timescale before any work begins.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Maltman's Hill?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Maltman's Hill, along with the rest of our area.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
We check for that before we reseal. If the fault is elsewhere, you will know before any work is done.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Maltman's Hill
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
In and around Maltman's Hill, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Do not point over movement joints
- Deal with small splits early
Do not let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
