Surface by surface
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out so the new sealant starts clean.
About our remedial sealant in West Street
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. It helps to have photos when you call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email, and say how long ago it was last done. If you have floor or wall movement joints that have failed and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like West Street, 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.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What else we do in West Street
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- 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
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Where we work in West Street
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like West Street, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Common questions in West Street
Is West Street within the area you cover?
Yes. West Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Lenham station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes, for 12 months. If we’ve pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
In that case, we tell you what we’ve found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Check trays and worktops do not move
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
How we quote for remedial sealant
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How many areas need sealing
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The amount of work
- The product the joint needs
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved.
Leave it or put it right?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Older cottages and farmhouses around West Street can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every job
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

West Street homes and their sealant
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.
Rented homes near Lenham station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. Managing a site like The Lenham 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.
