Old Hawkinge Remedial Sealant
Our applicators work in Old Hawkinge on removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How we handle remedial sealant in Old Hawkinge
A joint that keeps failing normally has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. If you’re dealing with movement joints that have split or pulled away and repeat leaks from the same joint, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Old Hawkinge, 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.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Quotes for remedial sealant in Old Hawkinge
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Remedial sealant around Old Hawkinge
Old Hawkinge is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
Managing a site like Hawkinge Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead won’t scrub out. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom before resealing.
When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant

Do you need remedial sealant in Old Hawkinge?
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, faster where ventilation is poor. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Beads that never stuck properly
Letting a property close to Folkestone Central station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
