Common questions in Woodnesborough
Will you come out to Woodnesborough?
Yes. Woodnesborough is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Sandwich station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Woodnesborough
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sandwich Technology School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near Sandwich station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Leave it or put it right?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing generally puts it right. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. In a small place like Woodnesborough, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.

What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it.

- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Different surfaces, different methods
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before any new sealant goes on.
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, in a colour that suits the frame.
