New-build mastic & snagging in Boughton Corner, Kent
New-build sealant joints in Boughton Corner need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Boughton Corner
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. Typical jobs include sealant that never bonded to the surface and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, across show homes, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites.
For a small place like Boughton Corner, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Questions from Boughton Corner
I let a flat near Wye station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting 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 any work starts.
Can you do new build mastic in Boughton Corner?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Boughton Corner is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to the old layer, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like Boughton Corner, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What happens if it’s left?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few photos. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Boughton Corner, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
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.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Record problems with dated pictures
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
