How we handle new build mastic in Cliffe Woods
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. We work on windows & doors, show homes and bathrooms & en suites, and common reasons people get in touch are smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and sealant that never bonded to the surface.
Around Cliffe Woods, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

New homes and floors in Cliffe Woods
Cliffe Woods is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For new homes near Higham station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Do you need new build mastic in Cliffe Woods?
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
In and around Cliffe Woods, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in with baths filled first.
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors as agreed.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The type of sealant required
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours in a single home from start to finish. In a small place like Cliffe Woods, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
