Remedial sealant in New Pound, done properly
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our 12-month guarantee. If you are dealing with wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like New Pound, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.

The process
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. 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 Pound, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Your questions about remedial sealant in New Pound
Do you cover New Pound for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and New Pound is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like New Pound?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Where mortar or filler has been used instead of sealant, it’s removed where it can be, and reseal with a flexible product.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
How we quote for remedial sealant
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- The type of property
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- A few pictures by email, if you can
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Common problems we fix in New Pound
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Look out for these signs:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
Letting a property close to Wateringbury station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Bathrooms and kitchens in New Pound
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Mereworth Community Primary School are buildings too, and 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. If you live in an older home near St Lawrence's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Local landmarks in New Pound
Typical jobs here are in homes near The Queens Head Public House. The closest station to New Pound is Wateringbury station, roughly 2.8 miles south-east of the centre. A little further out are Maidstone Hospital (5.2 miles east) and Beechin Wood Archery Museum (1.8 miles north-west).
Why deal with it now?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It cannot bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like New Pound, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and tell you about any damage we find.
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 any new sealant goes on.
