What new build mastic looks like in Meopham

How we handle new build mastic in Meopham
Across Meopham, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. Typical jobs include messy sealant that spoils new finishes and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, on show homes, kitchens and windows & doors.
Homes around Meopham range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
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.

When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we’re called out for in Meopham
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 and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
For new homes near Meopham station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What preparation is included

What else we do in Meopham
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a smaller place like Meopham, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What does new build mastic cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
There are normally two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
What affects the quote in Meopham
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The amount of work
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The rough size of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that’s easy.
What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one.
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification for a quote. Sealant work across the plot is covered to the agreed spec.
