The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere as small as Silver Street, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

How we handle new build mastic in Silver Street
Across Silver Street, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. We are often asked to deal with gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and cracked caulk along new skirting, on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers.
In a village or hamlet like Silver Street, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Silver Street
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
For new homes near Sittingbourne station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Before you book anyone
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Are they insured?
Why act early in Silver Street
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Around Silver Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

What else we do in Silver Street
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can damage the surface.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Broken tiles or a split tray
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
