About our new build mastic in Dymchurch
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation, because that is what rushed new-build sealant generally lacks. Typical jobs include second-fix sealing on new plots and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers.
In smaller places like Dymchurch, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Dymchurch and everywhere else we cover.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Common problems we fix in Dymchurch
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
For new homes near Westenhanger station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Questions to ask before you book
- What product goes in the joint
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Are they insured?
New build mastic around Dymchurch
Dymchurch 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.
In and around Dymchurch, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plot handovers

Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.

What affects the quote in Dymchurch
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- The type of sealant required
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Your questions about new build mastic in Dymchurch
I let a flat near Westenhanger station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do new build mastic in Dymchurch?
Yes, Dymchurch is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. The old sealant always comes out first.
What does new build mastic cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. In a smaller place like Dymchurch, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about parking restrictions
