Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
New build mastic in Doddington, done properly
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. We work on show homes, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites, and common reasons people get in touch are shower seals failing in the first year or two and internal frame sealant that has split.
Around Doddington, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Doddington: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Teynham station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Doddington within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send the list and a few photos of the sealant items. We will flag anything that needs another trade.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.

Should I wait before resealing?
Where water is getting through, don’t wait. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
What we’re called out for in Doddington
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
If you’ve bought a new home near Teynham station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Why act early in Doddington
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Around Doddington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you.
