Common problems we fix in Paddock Wood
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, can’t flex, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
The most common problems we see are:
- Torn expansion joints
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- A second bead peeling off the first
If you live in an older home near St Andrew's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How much experience the applicator has
How we handle remedial sealant in Paddock Wood
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. If you are dealing with a second bead peeling off the first and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, we can put it right.
Homes around Paddock Wood range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Paddock Wood
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Homes in smaller places like Paddock Wood can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

What else we do in Paddock Wood
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Parking around Paddock Wood is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any water getting in

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. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, matched to the frame colour.
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed.
