Remedial sealant in Windmill Hill, done properly

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, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. Typical jobs include leaks that keep coming back after resealing and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant.

In a smaller place like Windmill Hill, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, some older and some much newer. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Remedial sealant around Windmill Hill

Windmill Hill is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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 Gravesend station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. For an older house near a landmark such as Christ Church Milton, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Windmill Hill is about 1 mile north-west of Gravesend, in Kent.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant

You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:

Whether the work is at height
When we can work, for business premises
How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Which sealant suits the joint

What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

What we need to know

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

What’s wrong with the joints now
Where the property is
If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
A few pictures by email, if you can

There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What happens if it’s left?

Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. In an older home around Windmill Hill, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.

Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

Different surfaces, different methods

Movement & expansion joints

A movement joint must be able to stretch. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal.

Leaking trays & enclosures

A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We’ll tell you what we find.

Windmill Hill: your questions answered

Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Windmill Hill?

Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.

Do you cover smaller places like Windmill Hill?

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.

What should I tell you?

Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.

Can failed expansion joints be resealed?

Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.

Can I do it myself?

That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

Is remedial work guaranteed?

Yes. You get our 12-month guarantee.

What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?

We will tell you. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, so we won’t pretend it will.

What do you put in the joint?

The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.

Common problems we fix in Windmill Hill

All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks. At that point it has to come out.

The most common problems we see are:

A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
A second bead peeling off the first
Products that weren’t meant for the joint
Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wrotham Road Primary School, 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.

Our hiring checklist

The process

We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a smaller place like Windmill Hill, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.

The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.

Preparing for the visit

Clear the area around the work
Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
