DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Remedial sealant in Stone Cross
A joint that keeps failing generally has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. We are often asked to deal with kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Homes around Stone Cross are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Stone Cross and across Kent.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a small place like Stone Cross, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Why act early in Stone Cross
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t generally needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we will tell you. In a small place like Stone Cross, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

FAQs for Stone Cross
Do you work for landlords with property near Ashurst Kent station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Stone Cross in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Stone Cross is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then strip and reseal the joints.
How long does the work take?
It takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. We will give you a timescale when we quote.
When to call us in Stone Cross
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
Homes close to Church of St Martin of Tours include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal colour-matched to the worktop.
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. If the frame joint isn’t the cause, we’ll say so.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
