About our new build mastic in East Street
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. If you have frame joints opening as the plaster dries and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like East Street, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours in a single home, depending on how much there is to do. In a small place like East Street, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Common problems we fix in East Street
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.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
For new homes near Sandwich station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Follow the cure time we give you
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.
