How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Tonge Corner needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

The wrong product in the wrong joint will not last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. We work on expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints, and the jobs we see most are movement joints that have split or pulled away and products that weren’t meant for the joint.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Do you need remedial sealant in Tonge Corner?
All sealant wears out eventually. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould. At that point it has to come out.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
Letting a property close to Teynham station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the job turns out different

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Tonge Corner is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, before resealing with a single bead.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. Any existing damage is pointed out before any work starts.

Tonge Corner homes and their sealant
Tonge Corner is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to Church of St Giles include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lansdowne Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What happens if it’s left?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Tonge Corner, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:

- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
