Joints and finishes in Davington homes
Davington is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For new homes near Faversham station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

About our new build mastic in Davington
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We work on windows & doors, skirting & floors and show homes, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked sealant around new window and door frames and second-fix sealing on new plots.
In and around Davington, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Your questions about new build mastic in Davington
Do you work for landlords with property near Faversham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Davington?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with the builder if you are in the snagging or warranty period. If it isn’t resolved, we can reseal it properly.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
- How much there is to do
- When we can work, for business premises
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Parking around Davington is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Surface by surface
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in with baths filled first.
When to call us in Davington
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracks appear in the sealant.
Look out for these signs:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
Around Davington, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What the cure time is
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
