What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours in a single home. Somewhere as small as Petteridge, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

When to call us in Petteridge
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and can tear.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
For new homes near Paddock Wood station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

FAQs for Petteridge
Is Petteridge within the area you cover?
Yes, Petteridge is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Paddock Wood station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send the list and a few pictures of the sealant items and we will give you a quote. We’ll flag anything that needs another trade.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If they’re slow or the fix doesn’t last, we can help.

What happens if it’s left?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few pictures and we will tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Petteridge, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is usually left for about a day.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
