New-build mastic & snagging in Higham, Medway
We cover Higham for plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Higham
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. If you have gaps behind new kitchen upstands and sealant that never bonded to the surface, we can put it right, on plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors alike.
Work in a small place like Higham just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Higham and everywhere else we cover.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Higham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Higham, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Other services in Higham
Common problems we fix in Higham
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, so the bead never bonds properly.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
In and around Higham, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What insurance they hold
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What guarantee comes with the work
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Broken tiles or a split tray
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.
How we quote for new build mastic
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If someone has resealed it before
- Roughly how big the job is
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll send you a clear quote before any work starts.
