Remedial sealant & repairs in Strood, Kent
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Strood? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Beads that never stuck properly
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Never seal over old silicone
- Clean sealant with mild products only
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Remedial sealant in Strood
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. Common call-outs are for sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and products that weren’t meant for the joint, on failed movement joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
In a village or hamlet like Strood, 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.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

More services for Strood
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. Both are checked before any new sealant goes on.
For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
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.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as Strood, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Do you cover Strood for remedial sealant?

How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, before resealing with a single bead.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.

Yes. We’re fully insured.

Do you need remedial sealant in Strood?
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.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Rolvenden Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- The length of the guarantee
- Who turns up on the day
- Are they insured?
Why deal with it now?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It doesn’t grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Older cottages and farmhouses around Strood can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
