Charing Heath New Build Mastic
New-build sealant joints in Charing Heath need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Charing Heath
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover with a sealant suited to each area. If you have plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and sealant that never bonded to the surface, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Charing Heath, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Charing Heath and across Kent.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like Charing Heath, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
How we quote for new build mastic
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The amount of work
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
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.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The address or postcode of the job
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The problem you’ve noticed
We don’t publish a price list. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Do you need new build mastic in Charing Heath?
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak, and the problem shows up after you move in.
The most common problems we see are:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
In and around Charing Heath, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Common questions in Charing Heath
Will you come out to Charing Heath?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do new build mastic in Charing Heath?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Charing Heath is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send the schedule and any specification and we’ll give you a quote.
