Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Wichling
In Wichling, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. We strip each one back and start from scratch. Typical jobs include sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and movement joints that have split or pulled away, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
Somewhere as small as Wichling, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Wichling and across Kent.

What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Wichling, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.

What else we do in Wichling
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Remedial sealant around Wichling
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale 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 botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. If you live in an older home near Church of St Margaret, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

FAQs for Wichling
Do you cover Wichling for remedial sealant?
Yes, Wichling is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Wichling?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes, with our one-year guarantee. If we’ve pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Leave it or put it right?
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wichling can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
