Why deal with it now?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. Around East Guldeford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
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.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common, because the house is drying and settling. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
What we’re called out for in East Guldeford
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
In and around East Guldeford, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Joints and finishes in East Guldeford homes
East Guldeford is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For new homes near Rye station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What sealant work can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Plot handovers
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Kitchens
- Windows & doors
- Show homes
- Skirting & floors
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture doesn’t sit on the sealant.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
