How we handle new build mastic in Middle Stoke
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first and if that stalls, we can do it. We are often asked to deal with messy sealant that spoils new finishes and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and kitchens.
Somewhere as small as Middle Stoke, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Broken tiles or a split tray
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Middle Stoke: your questions answered
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Middle Stoke?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Middle Stoke for new build mastic?
Yes, Middle Stoke is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
It’s common, and there are usually two reasons: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We agree the colour before any work starts.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours in a single home, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What new build mastic looks like in Middle Stoke
Middle Stoke is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For jobs in and around Middle Stoke, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Surface by surface

Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
When to call us in Middle Stoke
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
Look out for any of the following:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
Around Middle Stoke, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Leave it or put it right?
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. In a small place like Middle Stoke, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
