Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Stick Hill
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. If you have decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Stick Hill, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Why act early in Stick Hill
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. In a small place like Stick Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Run the fan after every shower
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
How we quote for remedial sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Questions from Stick Hill
Will you come out to Stick Hill?
Yes. Stick Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hever station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
You will hear it from us. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing will not fix it, so we won’t pretend it will.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes, generally. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then strip and reseal the joints.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
What we are called out for in Stick Hill
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
In the older streets around Church of the Holy Trinity, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What insurance they hold
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are

Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out.
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
