Ringlestone questions
Do you work in hotels near Ringlestone?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Maidstone Barracks station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
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 does remedial resealing take?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. You’ll have a timescale before any work begins.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone doesn’t bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
That is why we look for the cause first. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Ringlestone
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. It helps to have photos when you phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, along with when it was last resealed. If you’re dealing with products that weren’t meant for the joint and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared, we can help, on failed movement joints, botched or over-sealed joints and shrunken worktop sealant alike.
Around Ringlestone, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Deal with small splits early
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.

Do you need remedial sealant in Ringlestone?
Even good sealant ages. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
For an older house near a landmark such as St Paul's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. Expect the work to take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a smaller place like Ringlestone, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Different surfaces, different methods
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Leave it or put it right?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint does not reach what’s underneath. Removal is the only way to get at it. Around Ringlestone, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
