Landlords, agents and businesses in Nackington
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Nackington and across Kent. Several sites can be quoted together.
New build mastic in Nackington, done properly
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on plot handovers, kitchens and windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover.
In a village or hamlet like Nackington, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What affects the quote in Nackington
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much there is to do
- Any working-time requirements on site
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details, and photos are welcome.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours in a single home, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere like Nackington needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.

New build mastic around Nackington

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
Signs you need new build mastic in Nackington
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
Around Nackington, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
