How we handle remedial sealant in Oversland
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We are often asked to deal with products that weren’t meant for the joint and black mould underneath the bead, across botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints.
Somewhere as small as Oversland, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a small place like Oversland, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Other services in Oversland
Bathrooms and kitchens in Oversland
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, 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 Peter and St Paul, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Managing a site like Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

When to call us in Oversland
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
For landlords with property near Selling station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Run the fan after every shower
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. New silicone doesn’t bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
FAQs for Oversland
Is Oversland within the area you cover?
Yes. Oversland is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Selling station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. For most joints, it’s a few hours.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal colour-matched to the worktop.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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.
