For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

Why deal with it now?
The builder is generally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or isn’t dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Culmers can have timber 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: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In and around Culmers, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Signs you need new build mastic in Culmers
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
For new homes near Faversham station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the colour is chosen
- How long the guarantee is
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
How the job changes by surface
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, opening gaps behind the upstand. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
How we quote for new build mastic
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

- Whether it’s a home or a business
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved.
