About our remedial sealant in Teston
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out. Common call-outs are for floor or wall movement joints that have failed and dark patches showing through the sealant, across failed movement joints, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Around Teston, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Leave it or put it right?
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It does not grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. In a small place like Teston, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

FAQs for Teston
Do you work for landlords with property near Wateringbury station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Teston 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.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

What else we do in Teston
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’re 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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied for a typical job. Somewhere like Teston needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed with a low-modulus product.
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. If the frame joint isn’t the cause, we will say so.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
- The size of the job
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the property is
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Teston homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Wateringbury Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near Wateringbury station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
