What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out.

- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Remedial sealant in Rodmersham
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every remedial job comes with a 12-month guarantee. Common call-outs are for black mould underneath the bead and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, on expansion joints, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
Somewhere as small as Rodmersham, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Around Rodmersham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What you get with us
- We never seal over old sealant
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- 12-month guarantee on every job

When it is not the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints

- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How we’d reach the joints
- A few pictures by email, if you can
To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We will give you a clear price before any work starts.
Landlord and commercial work in Rodmersham
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Remedial sealant around Rodmersham
Rodmersham is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Rodmersham School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near Sittingbourne station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. In the older streets around Church of St Nicholas, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sittingbourne station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can I do it myself?

Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes. You get our 12-month guarantee, and we’re ARBOMaster approved.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone won’t bond to silicone.

Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
