Questions from London Beach
Do you work for landlords with property near Pluckley station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is London Beach within the area you cover?
Yes, London Beach is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
New build mastic in London Beach
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We are often asked to deal with cracks appearing as a new home settles and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, across bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and skirting & floors.
Somewhere as small as London Beach, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Surface by surface
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. Dust from the build is removed first.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you, so raise it early.
New homes and floors in London Beach
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you’ve bought a new home near Pluckley station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Do you need new build mastic in London Beach?
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry first.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
In and around London Beach, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours in a single home, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like London Beach, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- 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.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

- The product the joint needs

- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
