New-build mastic & snagging in Mereworth, Kent
Problem with your new-build sealant joints in Mereworth? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant.
Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed so the sealant lasts.
New build mastic in Mereworth, done properly
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Mereworth. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. If you are dealing with second-fix sealing on new plots and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Mereworth, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through cannot. If you’re unsure which you have, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with photos. Older cottages and farmhouses around Mereworth can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a small place like Mereworth, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- 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.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Signs you need new build mastic in Mereworth
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry before the sealant goes on.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
If you’ve bought a new home near Wateringbury station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether you can choose the colour
Mereworth questions
I let a flat near Wateringbury station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Mereworth?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
Should I go to my builder first?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If it is not sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We’ll tell you when we quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
