DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
New build mastic in Kingsdown, done properly
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. If you’re dealing with kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Kingsdown often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kingsdown
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is normally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times for the lot. Around Kingsdown, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Signs you need new build mastic in Kingsdown
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
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.
