Remedial Sealant in Mundy Bois
Removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right for householders, landlords and businesses in Mundy Bois. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
Do you need remedial sealant in Mundy Bois?
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, and the joint starts to come away early.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Egerton Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Remedial sealant in Mundy Bois
Not every leak is a sealant leak. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. If you have caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and black mould underneath the bead, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Being in a small place like Mundy Bois makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It usually takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like Mundy Bois needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Questions from Mundy Bois
Will you come out to Mundy Bois?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Pluckley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
Allow a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. We’ll give you a timescale when we quote.

Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What remedial sealant looks like in Mundy Bois
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Church of St James, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Rented homes near Pluckley station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Never seal over old silicone
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.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Why act early in Mundy Bois
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. In a small place like Mundy Bois, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
