Colt's Hill New Build Mastic
We cover Colt's Hill for plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
New build mastic in Colt's Hill, done properly
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. If you’re dealing with skirting joints opening in the first winter and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, we can help, on show homes, kitchens and skirting & floors alike.
Work in a small place like Colt's Hill just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Colt's Hill, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. We clean out building dust before sealing and prime where the product needs it.
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.

In and around Colt's Hill, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For new homes near Paddock Wood station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Why act early in Colt's Hill
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Around Colt's Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you.
FAQs for Colt's Hill
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Paddock Wood station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Colt's Hill?
Yes, Colt's Hill is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. All the old sealant comes out before any work starts.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme. Tell us the plots and the joints involved and we will quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Your builder, if you’re still in their snagging or warranty period. If that doesn’t work out, we are happy to quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We agree the sealant items with you before work begins.
