About our remedial sealant in Standon
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and every remedial job comes with a 12-month guarantee. If you’re dealing with worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Standon, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Standon needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Remedial sealant in Standon: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Roger De Clare First CofE School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Different surfaces, different methods
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before any new sealant goes on.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, then reseal neatly.
Leave it or put it right?
Repeat failures have a cause. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Older cottages and farmhouses around Standon can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:

- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
