Remedial sealant in Ham, done properly
The wrong product in the wrong joint fails however neatly it’s applied. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and expansion joints, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks that keep coming back after resealing and over-sealed joints coming away.
For a small place like Ham, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Do you need remedial sealant in Ham?
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St George, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Ham, 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 find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Ham: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sandwich station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Ham in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Ham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
What does remedial sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Ham homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Sandwich station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Worth Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What happens if it’s left?
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Around Ham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler cannot move. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead will not scrub out. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
What sealant work can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Ham
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Never seal over old silicone
- Do not point over movement joints
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
