New build mastic for homes and businesses in Hogben's Hill
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant generally lacks. If you’re dealing with cracks appearing as a new home settles and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, we can help, on skirting & floors, kitchens and show homes alike.
Older homes in small places like Hogben's Hill often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hogben's Hill
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Show homes
- Kitchens
- Plot handovers
- Skirting & floors
- Windows & doors
- Bathrooms & en suites
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.

How it works

- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- 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.

- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
In and around Hogben's Hill, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
