Is Birchden in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Birchden is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.

About our new build mastic in Birchden
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first and if that stalls, we can do it. Typical jobs include cracked caulk along new skirting and cracks appearing as a new home settles, on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors.
Work in a small place like Birchden just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

When it isn’t the sealant
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Common problems we fix in Birchden
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
If you’ve bought a new home near Eridge station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Before you book anyone
- The length of the guarantee
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How long to leave it before use
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
Surface by surface
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, which opens gaps along the back. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. We use a flexible product rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
What affects the quote in Birchden
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How we’d reach the joints
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere as small as Birchden, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
Getting a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.

Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it won’t bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Older cottages and farmhouses around Birchden can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
