When to call us in Lordswood
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Look out for these signs:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
If you’ve bought a new home near Chatham station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Lordswood
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. We work on show homes, windows & doors and plot handovers, and common reasons people get in touch are shower seals failing in the first year or two and skirting joints opening in the first winter.
Homes around Lordswood range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

New build mastic in Lordswood: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Parking around Lordswood is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is generally left for about a day before water reaches them.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lordswood
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through can’t. If you’re unsure which you have, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with photos and we will tell you. Homes in smaller places like Lordswood can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
What you get with us
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
