Remedial sealant in Ranmore Common, done properly
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. Common call-outs are for smears and lumps from a botched reseal and dark patches showing through the sealant, across botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints.
In a village or hamlet like Ranmore Common, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.

Surface by surface
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned.
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal colour-matched to the worktop.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Ranmore Common, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Quotes for remedial sealant in Ranmore Common
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Roughly how big the job is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
Why deal with it now?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ranmore Common can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Why us?
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Tidy, careful work
- We never seal over old sealant

What sealant work can’t fix

- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Ranmore Common: your questions answered
Do you take on hotel work around Ranmore Common?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
I let a flat near Dorking West station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
The number of joints and layers decides it. You’ll have a timescale before any work begins.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. Both layers come out; new silicone doesn’t bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
