New build mastic in Petham, done properly
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. If you have beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and shower seals failing in the first year or two, we can help, on plot handovers, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites alike.
Somewhere as small as Petham, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots for a typical job. Somewhere like Petham needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
Common problems we fix in Petham
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly and it shows once the home is in use.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
If you’ve bought a new home near Chartham station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Why act early in Petham
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. Around Petham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
