We work on skirting & floors, show homes and kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are worktop and upstand sealant coming away and sealant that never bonded to the surface.

When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

Common problems we fix in Lower Hartlip
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.

- Cracks appearing as a new home settles

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.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Lower Hartlip, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there.
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Joints are prepared properly before sealing so the sealant lasts.
