New build mastic in East Malling
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We work on windows & doors, kitchens and skirting & floors, and the jobs we see most are worktop and upstand sealant coming away and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging.
Homes around East Malling range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Why it’s worth doing now in East Malling
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. Around East Malling, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

FAQs for East Malling
Is East Malling within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near East Malling station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We will agree it with you first.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in East Malling
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Landlords and letting agents in East Malling can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
