New build mastic for homes and businesses in Appledore Heath
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We work on bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and skirting & floors, and the jobs we see most are shower seals failing in the first year or two and internal frame sealant that has split.
For a small place like Appledore Heath, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
In and around Appledore Heath, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Your questions about new build mastic in Appledore Heath
Do you work for landlords with property near Appledore (Kent) station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. 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 do new build mastic in Appledore Heath?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Appledore Heath is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
How much does new build mastic cost in Appledore Heath?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send it with pictures and we will quote for the sealant items. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Skirting & floors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Kitchens
- Plot handovers
- Show homes
- Windows & doors
Why act early in Appledore Heath
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few pictures and we’ll tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Appledore Heath can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
