- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
New build mastic in Kitwood
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. Common call-outs are for worktop and upstand sealant coming away and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, across skirting & floors, show homes and bathrooms & en suites.
For a small place like Kitwood, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Kitwood and everywhere else we cover.

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 need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Skirting & floors
- Kitchens
- Plot handovers
- Windows & doors
- Show homes
Common problems we fix in Kitwood
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
For jobs in and around Kitwood, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Before you book anyone
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Who turns up on the day
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a small place like Kitwood, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Kitwood: your questions answered
Can you do new build mastic in Kitwood?
Yes, Kitwood is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Kitwood within the area you cover?
Yes, Kitwood is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
There are usually two causes: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Leave it or put it right?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. In a small place like Kitwood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

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.
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification and we will quote. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors to the agreed spec.
