If you have gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and shower seals failing in the first year or two, we can put it right.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lewson Street
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lewson Street can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- We agree the colour with you first
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Tidy, careful work
- We are fully insured
Common problems we fix in Lewson Street
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
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.

Joints and finishes in Lewson Street homes
Lewson Street is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Around Lewson Street, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What does new build mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
Where water is getting through, do not wait. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early as timber and plaster dry out. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
