How we handle new build mastic in Maypole
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We work on plot handovers, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites, and people most often call us about sealant work across a run of new homes and skirting joints opening in the first winter.
Around Maypole, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Signs you need new build mastic in Maypole
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and the sealant may split.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
If you’ve bought a new home near Herne Bay station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

- Whether you can choose the colour

FAQs for Maypole
Is Maypole within the area you cover?
Yes. Maypole is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Herne Bay station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
When it is not the sealant
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
How we quote for new build mastic
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Which sealant suits the joint
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The rough size of the job
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
There’s no standard price list. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere as small as Maypole, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work

New homes and floors in Maypole
Maypole is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. 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.
In and around Maypole, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
