New build mastic for homes and businesses in Cheeseman's Green

In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. If you’re dealing with gaps between new skirting and floors and internal frame sealant that has split, we can help, on bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and skirting & floors alike.

Around Cheeseman's Green, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.

We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

FAQs for Cheeseman's Green

Can you do new build mastic in Cheeseman's Green?

Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Cheeseman's Green is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.

Do you work for landlords with property near Ashford International station?

Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?

Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme, room by room. Tell us the plots and the joints involved and we will quote.

What colour sealant will you use?

It depends on the joint: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We will agree it with you first.

Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?

No. The old sealant is cut out fully, then clean and prime the joint, before resealing.

How long does the job take?

Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Can you work from my snagging list?

Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with pictures if you can, and we will quote. We’ll flag anything that needs another trade.

Different surfaces, different methods

Show homes

Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.

Windows and doors

External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.

Common problems we fix in Cheeseman's Green

If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry before the sealant goes on.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

  • Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
  • Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
  • Second-fix sealing on new plots
  • Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall

If you’ve bought a new home near Ashford International station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Questions to ask before you book

  • When the joint can take water or movement
  • What happens if the job turns out different
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the old sealant removed completely?

Our hiring checklist

What sealant work cannot fix

Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:

  • Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
  • A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
  • Settlement cracks that need a surveyor

If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Where we work in Cheeseman's Green

  • Kitchens
  • Show homes
  • Skirting & floors
  • Bathrooms & en suites
  • Windows & doors
  • Plot handovers

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
  • Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
  • Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
  • Use the extractor fan every time you shower

Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is generally left for about a day before water reaches them.

Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.

What affects the quote in Cheeseman's Green

Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any mould that needs treating
  • How easy the joints are to reach
  • The number of rooms or windows
  • The old material and how stubborn it is

A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What to tell us for a quote

When you call or email, it’s useful to know:

  • Roughly how big the job is
  • Any previous sealing or DIY work
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

Need a quote? Please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the job. We’ll explain what we’d do and give you a clear quote before work begins.

Should I try it myself first?

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

How it works

All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Cheeseman's Green needs a little journey planning: 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.

  1. We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
  2. The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
  3. Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
  4. A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
  5. Each area is checked and left with its cure time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
  • Move anything stored near the joints
