Remedial sealant in Matfield, done properly
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on expansion joints, failed movement joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and the jobs we see most are torn expansion joints and black mould underneath the bead.
For a small place like Matfield, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Never seal over old silicone
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Your questions about remedial sealant in Matfield
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Paddock Wood station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will you come out to Matfield?
Yes, Matfield is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How we quote for remedial sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The rough size of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. We check both before any new sealant goes on.
What we’re called out for in Matfield
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, can’t flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
Managing a site like Brenchley and Matfield Church of England Primary School? Then 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.
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is chosen
- What preparation is included
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Is VAT in the price?
The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Matfield, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Matfield homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Paddock Wood station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Homes close to Ebenezer Church (Matfield) include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
