New build mastic in Five Wents, done properly
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover with a sealant suited to each area. Common call-outs are for untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, on bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and plot handovers.
Older homes in small places like Five Wents often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

When it is not the sealant
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant

How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Five Wents, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

New homes and floors in Five Wents

For new homes near Hollingbourne station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification and we’ll quote. Sealant work across the plot is covered as agreed.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises
- The amount of work
- The old material and how stubborn it is
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that’s easy.
When to call us in Five Wents
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and the sealant may split.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
Around Five Wents, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who turns up on the day
Leave it or put it right?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few pictures and we will give you a straight answer. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Five Wents, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
