Remedial sealant in Stodmarsh, done properly
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. If you have thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and beads that never stuck properly, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Stodmarsh, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.

The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Stodmarsh needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- 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.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work in Stodmarsh
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Stodmarsh
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Look out for these signs:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Black mould underneath the bead
Letting a property close to Sturry station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Common questions in Stodmarsh
Is Stodmarsh in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Stodmarsh is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Stodmarsh?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
That’s why we look for the cause first. If the fault is elsewhere, you’ll know before any work is done.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across Kent.
Leave it or put it right?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stodmarsh can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

What remedial sealant looks like in Stodmarsh
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wickhambreaux Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
