How we handle remedial sealant in Sole Street
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. We are often asked to deal with a second bead peeling off the first and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared, on failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints.
Being in a small place like Sole Street makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead will not scrub out. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, including the screen profile and tray edges.
Common problems we fix in Sole Street
Joint depth matters. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, can’t stretch, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Torn expansion joints
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
Letting a property close to Sole Street station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

FAQs for Sole Street
Do you cover Sole Street for remedial sealant?
Yes, Sole Street is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Sole Street?
Yes, Sole Street is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, then the joint is resealed once.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
In that case, we tell you what we have found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter before any new sealant goes on.
Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
Why it’s worth doing now in Sole Street
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Older cottages and farmhouses around Sole Street can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.

Sole Street homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near St Mary's Room, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Schools such as Cobham Primary School are buildings too, and 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.
