New build mastic in Hucking, done properly
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. Both get the same care over preparation, because that is what rushed new-build sealant generally lacks. If you are dealing with frame joints opening as the plaster dries and sealant work across a run of new homes, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Hucking, 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, in Hucking and everywhere else we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hucking
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Why deal with it now?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few photos and we will tell you. In a small place like Hucking, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Joints and finishes in Hucking homes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For new homes near Hollingbourne station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Joints are prepared properly before sealing.
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames to a tidy standard. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
When to call us in Hucking
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry before the sealant goes on.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
Around Hucking, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include

The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Hucking, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
