Common questions in Swift's Green
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Headcorn station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Swift's Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. Repeat leaks generally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, so we find that first.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
Remedial sealant in Swift's Green
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our 12-month guarantee. If you have movement joints that have split or pulled away and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones, we can help, on expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant alike.
In a village or hamlet like Swift's Green, 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.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, and then we reseal it neatly.
What we are called out for in Swift's Green
Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. None of them last.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Torn expansion joints
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
In and around Swift's Green, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What insurance they hold
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Keep the room well ventilated
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much there is to do
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Swift's Green, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
