Cranbrook Common New Build Mastic
We cover Cranbrook Common for plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
Why act early in Cranbrook Common
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is usually simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote. Around Cranbrook Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why Cranbrook Common clients choose us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Cranbrook Common
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. Common call-outs are for worktop and upstand sealant coming away and gaps between new skirting and floors, across bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and show homes.
Work in a small place like Cranbrook Common just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Your questions about new build mastic in Cranbrook Common
Do you work for landlords with property near Staplehurst station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Cranbrook Common?
Yes, Cranbrook Common is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours in a single home, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. All the old sealant comes out before work begins.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
