- Roughly how big the job is

Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Ratton Village
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. If you are dealing with a second bead peeling off the first and dark patches showing through the sealant, we can put it right, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and botched or over-sealed joints alike.
In a smaller place like Ratton Village, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Ratton Village: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Ratton Village?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Hampden Park station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. For most joints, it’s a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out for a typical job. In a smaller place like Ratton Village, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler can’t move. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tray edges and screen profiles included.

Leave it or put it right?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It does not grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. In a smaller place like Ratton Village, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Why Ratton Village customers choose us

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Remedial sealant around Ratton Village
Ratton Village is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Hampden Park station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. If you look after a building such as Ocklynge Junior School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
