Remedial sealant near Milstead

Milstead: your questions answered

Do you cover smaller places like Milstead?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Do you work for landlords with property near Sittingbourne station?

Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.

What if resealing will not fix my leak?

That is why we look for the cause first. If the fault is elsewhere, you will know before any work is done.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.

Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?

Yes. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, then clean off the residue. Any existing damage is pointed out before we start.

Which products do you use?

We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.

Do I need to be at home?

If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.

Will there be a smell?

There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.

Remedial sealant in Milstead, done properly

In Milstead, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. Each is stripped back and done again properly. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, expansion joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are dark patches showing through the sealant and smears and lumps from a botched reseal.

Around Milstead, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.

Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Milstead

Even good sealant ages. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould. At that point it has to come out.

Look out for these signs:

  • Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
  • A second bead peeling off the first
  • Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
  • Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop

Schools such as Milstead and Frinsted Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Before you book anyone

  • Which colour the sealant will be
  • Who does the work, and how experienced they are
  • Whether the sealant suits the joint
  • How long the guarantee is

Choosing a sealant specialist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Milstead

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.

We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured for the work.

What we can’t put right

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:

  • Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
  • Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
  • A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)

If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How we quote for remedial sealant

Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:

  • How much there is to do
  • Any mould that needs treating
  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • Access and height

Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Asking for a quote

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:

  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • The address or postcode of the job
  • Whether it has been sealed before
  • The type of property

Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job, and photos are welcome.

What remedial sealant looks like in Milstead

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

For landlords with property near Sittingbourne station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. Homes close to Church of St Mary and the Holy Cross include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

How it works

Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Milstead, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
  2. We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
  3. Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
  5. Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.

How to prepare

  • Clear items away from the joints we are working on
  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

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.

Mouldy bath & shower sealant

Repeat mould generally points to a damp, poorly aired room. Along with resealing, we’ll mention if the room needs better ventilation.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

If you are 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
