Common problems we fix in Hollybushes
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 and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
Look out for any of the following:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
For new homes near Sittingbourne station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hollybushes
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few photos and we will tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hollybushes, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
