How we handle remedial sealant in Shatterling
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. If you are dealing with floor or wall movement joints that have failed and a second bead peeling off the first, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Shatterling, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Keep the room well ventilated
Do not 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. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Shatterling, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Landlord and commercial work in Shatterling

What happens if it’s left?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Around Shatterling, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

What we’re called out for in Shatterling
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- A second bead peeling off the first
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What remedial sealant looks like in Shatterling
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.
Rented homes near Adisham station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Managing a site like Wingham Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
