Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Southernden
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. If you have torn expansion joints and over-sealed joints coming away, we can help, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and expansion joints alike.
Homes around Southernden are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Why act early in Southernden
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. Around Southernden, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

How we quote for remedial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
- How easy the joints are to reach
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The type of property
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job.
Different surfaces, different methods
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed colour-matched to the worktop.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like Southernden, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What we are called out for in Southernden
Products get mixed up: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. Each fails in its own way.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
In and around Southernden, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Both layers come out; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
