New build mastic for homes and businesses in Monk's Gate
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over using the right product for each joint. We work on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and worktop and upstand sealant coming away.
Somewhere as small as Monk's Gate, 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.

Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work

Signs you need new build mastic in Monk's Gate
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
In and around Monk's Gate, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What else we do in Monk's Gate
Landlord and commercial work in Monk's Gate
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
New homes and floors in Monk's Gate
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.

Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Monk's Gate, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, then clean and prime the joint, and a new bead applied.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in and baths are filled before sealing.
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
