Remedial Sealant in Radfield
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Radfield? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.
- Torn expansion joints
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- A second bead peeling off the first
How it works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like Radfield, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Remedial sealant in Radfield, done properly
A joint that keeps failing usually has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. If you are dealing with over-sealed joints coming away and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, we can help, on expansion joints, botched or over-sealed joints and failed movement joints alike.
Homes around Radfield are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.

Yes. Repeat leaks normally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, so we find that first.

Radfield homes and their sealant
Radfield is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Teynham station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
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 drop us an email.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
Surface by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, then reseal neatly.
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces before backing and resealing.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Landlords and letting agents in Radfield can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Leave it or put it right?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. In a small place like Radfield, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Common problems we fix in Radfield
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Torn expansion joints
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
Homes close to Church of St Lawrence include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
