When to call us in Chartham Hatch
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and the sealant may split.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
In and around Chartham Hatch, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

New build mastic in Chartham Hatch, done properly
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first and if that stalls, we can do it. If you have beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, we can help.
Around Chartham Hatch, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Common questions in Chartham Hatch
Do you work for landlords with property near Chartham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Chartham Hatch?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common as timber and plaster dry out. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Skirting & floors
- Windows & doors

Why it’s worth doing now in Chartham Hatch
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times for the lot. Around Chartham Hatch, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
