Wilsley Pound Remedial Sealant
Removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Wilsley Pound. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Over-sealed joints coming away
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Wilsley Pound, 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.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

About our remedial sealant in Wilsley Pound

We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and failed movement joints, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks that keep coming back after resealing and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared.
For a small place like Wilsley Pound, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Landlord and commercial work in Wilsley Pound
Letting agents and landlords in Wilsley Pound can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What we are called out for in Wilsley Pound
All sealant wears out eventually. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, faster where ventilation is poor. At that point it has to come out.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Torn expansion joints
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
For landlords with property near Staplehurst station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What the cure time is
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Act on a lifting corner right away
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
- Which sealant suits the joint
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved and send you a clear quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Common questions in Wilsley Pound
Do you cover Wilsley Pound for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Wilsley Pound is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Wilsley Pound within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across Kent.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Both layers come out; new silicone doesn’t bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- 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’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints

What remedial sealant looks like in Wilsley Pound
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Cranbrook Church of England Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Church of the Holy Trinity include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
