Remedial sealant & repairs in Walmer, Kent
Our applicators work in Walmer on removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.

- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Walmer
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and the jobs we see most are beads that never stuck properly and torn expansion joints.
Smaller places like Walmer still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Walmer and everywhere else we cover.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any working-time requirements on site
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, including the tidy-up. For a job in Walmer, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Walmer homes and their sealant
Walmer is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Walmer has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
In the older streets around St Mary's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you let a flat or house near Walmer station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Common problems we fix in Walmer
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Torn expansion joints
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
Managing a site like The Downs Church of England Primary School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Check trays and worktops do not move
Give the new sealant its full cure time: normally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
Your questions about remedial sealant in Walmer
Do you work in hotels near Walmer?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Do you work for landlords with property near Walmer station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. Both layers come out; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
