Remedial sealant in Pollhill, done properly
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and the jobs we see most are dark patches showing through the sealant and repeat leaks from the same joint.
Somewhere as small as Pollhill, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out in most cases. Somewhere like Pollhill needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- 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.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Move anything stored near the joints

What affects the quote in Pollhill
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The amount of work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
When to call us in Pollhill
Using the wrong product is a common cause: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. Each fails in its own way.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Harrietsham Church of England Primary School, 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.
Before booking anyone
- What preparation is included
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
What happens if it’s left?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. Removal is the only way to get at it, so the joint can be treated and resealed. In a small place like Pollhill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

FAQs for Pollhill
Is Pollhill in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Pollhill is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you work for landlords with property near Harrietsham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
We will tell you. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing won’t fix it, so we will not pretend it will.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. Where we’ve flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Keep the room well ventilated
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. If anything changes, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop 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. Sorting it early limits the damage.
What remedial sealant looks like in Pollhill
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 Catholic Church of the Good Shepherd, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Rented homes near Harrietsham station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
