Remedial Sealant in Ram Lane
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Ram Lane? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
How we handle remedial sealant in Ram Lane
Remedial jobs in Ram Lane normally fall into a few patterns: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. Each is stripped back and done again properly. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and gaps opening along the back of the worktop.
Homes around Ram Lane are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What affects the quote in Ram Lane
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Surface by surface
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, in a colour that suits the frame.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.

What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Ram Lane, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Can you do remedial sealant in Ram Lane?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Ram Lane is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Charing station?

Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Ram Lane?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. We take our time over removal, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
Do you need remedial sealant in Ram Lane?
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Torn expansion joints
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
Managing a site like The Hayesbrook School? Then 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.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What preparation is included
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Is VAT in the price?
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Run the fan after every shower
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
Do not let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
