What happens if it’s left?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Older cottages and farmhouses around Mount Pleasant can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Mount Pleasant
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first, and if it is not put right, get in touch with us. We work on kitchens, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant work across a run of new homes and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles.
Around Mount Pleasant, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Mount Pleasant and across Kent.

New build mastic around Mount Pleasant
Mount Pleasant is close to 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, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In and around Mount Pleasant, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Quotes for new build mastic in Mount Pleasant
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The amount of work
- The product the joint needs
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.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Windows & doors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Plot handovers
- Skirting & floors
- Show homes
- Kitchens
What we are called out for in Mount Pleasant
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
If you’ve bought a new home near Minster station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Questions from Mount Pleasant
Do you work for landlords with property near Minster station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Mount Pleasant within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. All the old sealant comes out before work begins.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
White and clear are the most common, but other colours are available. We match the colour to the finish.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We agree the sealant items with you before we start.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots in most cases. Somewhere like Mount Pleasant needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is normally left for about a day to cure enough for use.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
