Asking for a quote

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:

  • What’s wrong with the joints now
  • Any previous sealing or DIY work
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • How we’d reach the joints

Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.

How we handle new build mastic in Three Chimneys

Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We work on plot handovers, windows & doors and skirting & floors, and common reasons people get in touch are joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build.

Somewhere as small as Three Chimneys, 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 our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Questions from Three Chimneys

Is Three Chimneys within the area you cover?

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Headcorn station?

Can I send you my snagging list?

Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. If something is not sealant, we will say so.

What should I tell you?

Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.

Do you do commercial work?

Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.

Will it make a mess?

No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?

Cracking in the first couple of years is common. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.

My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?

Your builder, if you are still in their snagging or warranty period. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it with our 12-month guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:

  • Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
  • Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
  • Follow the cure time we give you
  • Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through

Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.

Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Three Chimneys

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

Landlords and agents in Three Chimneys can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.

What happens on the day

On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like Three Chimneys, 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.

  1. First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
  2. The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
  3. We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
  4. We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
  5. We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
  • Move anything stored near the joints

Do you need new build mastic in Three Chimneys?

Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
  • Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
  • Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
  • Cracks appearing as a new home settles

Around Three Chimneys, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Our hiring checklist

When it is not the sealant

We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
  • Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
  • Broken tiles or a split tray

If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Skirting & floors
  • Windows & doors
  • Kitchens
  • Show homes
  • Plot handovers
  • Bathrooms & en suites

Leave it or put it right?

A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Three Chimneys, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
