New build mastic in Flete
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference. We are often asked to deal with sealant work across a run of new homes and skirting joints opening in the first winter, across kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors.
In a village or hamlet like Flete, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What affects the quote in Flete
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- When we can work, for business premises
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
For new build mastic in Flete, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Skirting & floors
- Plot handovers
- Show homes
- Windows & doors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Kitchens
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
New build mastic in Flete: local notes
Flete is within about 2 miles of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Around Flete, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Margate station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

How the visit 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. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like Flete, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Surface by surface
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Why it’s worth doing now in Flete
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Flete can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
