New-build mastic & snagging in Charing, Kent
We cover Charing for plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
New build mastic in Charing
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We’re often asked to deal with frame joints opening as the plaster dries and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, across bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and skirting & floors.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Charing, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a smaller place like Charing, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
What we are called out for in Charing
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
If you’ve bought a new home near Charing station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is chosen
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
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.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Why act early in Charing
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it won’t bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In an older home around Charing, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

What else we do in Charing
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, then guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
