What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal

- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
How we handle remedial sealant in Ulcombe
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. Typical jobs include thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and over-sealed joints coming away, across failed movement joints, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints.
Somewhere as small as Ulcombe, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and tell you about any damage we find.

Ulcombe homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to All Saints Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ulcombe Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Local landmarks in Ulcombe

Common problems we fix in Ulcombe
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
Rented homes near Harrietsham station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Ulcombe 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.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
