How the visit works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like New Hythe, access is generally the main thing to plan. 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.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Remedial sealant in New Hythe
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. If you’re dealing with smears and lumps from a botched reseal and over-sealed joints coming away, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around New Hythe, it’s 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
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
What happens if it’s left?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Around New Hythe, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What affects the quote in New Hythe
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The product the joint needs
- How much there is to do
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

New Hythe homes and their sealant

Common questions in New Hythe
Do you cover smaller places like New Hythe?
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 do remedial sealant in New Hythe?
Yes, New Hythe is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, then the joint is resealed once.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Common problems we fix in New Hythe
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
Homes close to Church of the Holy Trinity include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How long the guarantee is
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Who turns up on the day
