What affects the quote in Staplehurst
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:

Why it’s worth doing now in Staplehurst
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. Homes in smaller places like Staplehurst can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Sealant colour chosen to suit

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small.
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

- Plot handovers
- Kitchens
- Windows & doors

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. 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. For a job in Staplehurst, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- 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
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
