Remedial sealant in Staplestreet, done properly
A joint that keeps failing usually has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. We are often asked to deal with movement joints that have split or pulled away and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, across expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant.
Around Staplestreet, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Staplestreet and across Kent.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Staplestreet
Do you cover Staplestreet for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Staplestreet is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Staplestreet within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we are fully insured.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. You will have a timescale before any work begins.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
The process
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a small place like Staplestreet, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear the area around the work

What remedial sealant looks like in Staplestreet
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.
Rented homes near Selling station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Also in Staplestreet
Do you need remedial sealant in Staplestreet?
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that’s too stiff or too thin.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
Managing a site like Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What to look for in a quote
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- When the joint can take water or movement
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Run the fan after every shower
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
Leave it or put it right?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing usually puts it right. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. In a small place like Staplestreet, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Full insurance on every job
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
