Why deal with it now?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through can’t. If you are unsure which you have, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with photos and we will tell you. Around Blue Bell Hill, older homes often have timber in their 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. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

New build mastic in Blue Bell Hill: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In and around Blue Bell Hill, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Blue Bell Hill is about 2 miles south-west of Chatham, in Medway. Whether you are in the middle of Blue Bell Hill or further out, we cover new build mastic for every kind of property. We cover 68 towns and villages across Medway. For nearby work, see our London page.
Work in ME5 is quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. That includes homes and businesses on Laurie Gray Avenue, Thorn Close and Barling Close and the roads around them.

Around Blue Bell Hill
We work in homes and buildings around Greenacre Academy, Westfield Wood and Robin Hood Public House. For rail, the closest station is Snodland station, roughly 2.5 miles west of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include St. Bartholomew's Hospital (3.5 miles north) and Pentagon Shopping Centre (3.6 miles north). Not far away are Burham Down and Boxley Hills.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.
What we’re called out for in Blue Bell Hill
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Internal frame sealant that has split
For new homes near Snodland station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

What else we do in Blue Bell Hill
How we quote for new build mastic
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours in a single home, and the area is left clean. In a small place like Blue Bell Hill, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Common questions in Blue Bell Hill
Is Blue Bell Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Snodland station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours in a single home. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
