New-build mastic & snagging in Eccles, Kent
Problem with your new-build sealant joints in Eccles? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
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.
New build mastic in Eccles
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first. We work on show homes, windows & doors and skirting & floors, and common reasons people get in touch are plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and sealant that never bonded to the surface.
Around Eccles, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Eccles as everywhere else we work.

What else we do in Eccles
What happens if it’s left?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. In a small place like Eccles, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
What you get with us
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- 180+ five-star Google reviews
- Colour picked to suit the job
What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant that suits the frame.
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 and baths are filled before sealing.
Landlord and commercial work in Eccles
For anyone letting property in or around Eccles, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
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 be quoted together.
How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Eccles, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
