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.

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

Developers can send the plot schedule and specification for a quote. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors.

Bathrooms and en suites

En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.

How the visit works

Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Ashley needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
