New build mastic in Ashley, done properly
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover using the right product for each joint. Common call-outs are for kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and gaps between new skirting and floors, across kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers.
Around Ashley, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Quotes for new build mastic in Ashley
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Show homes
- Kitchens
- Skirting & floors
- Plot handovers
- Windows & doors
- Bathrooms & en suites
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Record problems with dated photos
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.

Questions from Ashley
Is Ashley within the area you cover?
Yes. Ashley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Martin Mill station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Surface by surface
Plot handovers

Look out for these signs:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
For new homes near Martin Mill station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
