How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like Ratling, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- 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.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
How we handle new build mastic in Ratling
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. If you have gaps between new skirting and floors and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Ratling, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Windows & doors
- Plot handovers
- Show homes
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Kitchens
- Skirting & floors
What happens if it’s left?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. In a small place like Ratling, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Common problems we fix in Ratling
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
If you’ve bought a new home near Adisham station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Ratling questions
Can you do new build mastic in Ratling?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Ratling is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Adisham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send the list and a few pictures of the sealant items and we’ll give you a quote. We will tell you if anything on it isn’t a sealant job.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
It’s common, and there are normally two reasons: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Your builder, if you are still in their snagging or warranty period. If that does not work out, we’re happy to quote and our work is guaranteed for a year.
