Common questions in Roke
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Roke?
All our work, in Roke and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Roke?
Yes, Roke is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes, usually. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Roke?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Remedial sealant in Roke
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints, and the jobs we see most are worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and floor or wall movement joints that have failed.
For a small place like Roke, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Why act early in Roke
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It does not grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. In a small place like Roke, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

What we’re called out for in Roke
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, and the joint starts to come away early.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
In the older streets around Church of St Helen, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
- How long to leave it before use
Landlord and commercial work in Roke
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What remedial sealant looks like in Roke
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Benson 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.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out in most cases. In a small place like Roke, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Advice
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. New silicone doesn’t bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
