About our remedial sealant in Stone in Oxney
A joint that keeps failing usually has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that is not fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. If you are dealing with products that weren’t meant for the joint and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Stone in Oxney, 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.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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.
When to call us in Stone in Oxney
Using the wrong product is a common cause: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. None of them last.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Black mould underneath the bead
Letting a property close to Appledore (Kent) station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere as small as Stone in Oxney, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- 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.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints

How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.

Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is usually part of the cause. We will reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.

It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
