New build mastic in Matfield
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 is what rushed new-build sealant usually lacks. Typical jobs include cracked caulk along new skirting and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, on show homes, skirting & floors and kitchens.
Work in a small place like Matfield just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few photos by email, if you can
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before work begins.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Somewhere as small as Matfield, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
New homes and floors in Matfield
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, 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 Paddock Wood station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. Around Matfield, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
Matfield: your questions answered
Will you come out to Matfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Paddock Wood station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We agree the sealant items with you before any work starts.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Why deal with it now?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through can’t. If you’re unsure which you have, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with photos and we will tell you. Around Matfield, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
