Remedial sealant in Ramsdell

Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. If you have thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

Being in a small place like Ramsdell makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Ramsdell, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
  2. Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
  3. Mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
  5. The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.

How to prepare

  • Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
  • Clear items away from the joints we are working on

DIY versus a professional finish

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.

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Why act early in Ramsdell

Repeat failures have a cause. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Around Ramsdell, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

What affects the quote in Ramsdell

For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:

  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • The type of sealant required
  • The number of rooms or windows
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with

What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

What to tell us for a quote

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:

  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • Where the property is
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • The type of property

Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.

Ramsdell homes and their sealant

Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

In the older streets around Christ Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like The Priory Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What sealant work can’t fix

A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

  • A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
  • Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal

Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Joints and surfaces we work on

Where are you based?

We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.

Can you reseal a split movement joint?

Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.

Will it make a mess?

Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.

When is the sealant fully cured?

Cure times vary by product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.

How long does the work take?

The number of joints and layers decides it. We’ll tell you before any work starts.

Common problems we fix in Ramsdell

Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Dark patches showing through the sealant
  • Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
  • Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
  • Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones

Letting a property close to Bramley (Hants) station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Are they insured?
  • What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
  • Whether you can choose the colour
  • How the joint is cleaned and prepared
