New-build mastic & snagging in Kippington, Kent
Our applicators work in Kippington on plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
How we handle new build mastic in Kippington
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. We’re often asked to deal with leaking shower tray seals in a new home and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, across windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors.
In smaller places like Kippington, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Do you need new build mastic in Kippington?
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
Around Kippington, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a smaller place like Kippington, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can damage the surface.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
Joints and finishes in Kippington 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.
If you’ve bought a new home near Sevenoaks station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What does new build mastic cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If it isn’t sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Should I wait before resealing?
Where water is getting through, do not wait. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.

Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
Windows and doors

Leave it or put it right?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is normally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote for the lot. Homes in smaller places like Kippington can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
