New-build mastic & snagging in Broadwater Down, Kent

- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
How we handle new build mastic in Broadwater Down
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant normally lacks. Common call-outs are for second-fix sealing on new plots and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, on show homes, skirting & floors and kitchens.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Broadwater Down, it’s often a small development or a single plot. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Broadwater Down and across Kent.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Questions from Broadwater Down
Do you cover smaller places like Broadwater Down?
Yes, Broadwater Down is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Tunbridge Wells station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Broadwater Down?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with pictures if you can. We will flag anything that needs another trade.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries our 12-month guarantee.
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.

In total, it usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots.

- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.

What affects the quote in Broadwater Down
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many areas need sealing
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The type of property
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Why act early in Broadwater Down
If you are still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Around Broadwater Down, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
