What we are called out for in Ebbsfleet

If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry.

Common reasons people contact us are:

  • Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
  • Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
  • Shower seals failing in the first year or two
  • Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces

In and around Ebbsfleet, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Our hiring checklist

New build mastic in Ebbsfleet, done properly

We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. Typical jobs include leaking shower tray seals in a new home and cracks appearing as a new home settles, on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors.

Somewhere as small as Ebbsfleet, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

What affects the cost of new build mastic

We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:

  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
  • The number and length of the joints
  • When we can work, for business premises
  • The number of rooms or windows

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

What we need to know

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

  • The type of property
  • What’s wrong with the joints now
  • The rough size of the job
  • Where the property is

Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ebbsfleet

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Ebbsfleet and across Kent. Several sites can be quoted together.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.

Surface by surface

Skirting and floors

As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it.

Windows and doors

Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
  • Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
  • Use the extractor fan every time you shower
  • Follow the cure time we give you

Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.

If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

Why act early in Ebbsfleet

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. Around Ebbsfleet, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

What you get with us

  • White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
  • Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
  • We leave the area clean and tidy
  • Rated 4.9 stars on Google

How the visit works

Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere as small as Ebbsfleet, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
  2. The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
  3. Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
  4. A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
  5. Each area is checked and left with its cure time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move anything stored near the joints
  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
