How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a small place like Oare, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

About our new build mastic in Oare
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. Typical jobs include plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, on show homes, plot handovers and skirting & floors.
Somewhere as small as Oare, 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.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Oare as everywhere else we work.

What else we do in Oare
What new build mastic looks like in Oare
Oare is within about 2 miles 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For new homes near Faversham station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

What we are called out for in Oare

- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
Around Oare, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

I let a flat near Faversham station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
It depends on whether water is getting through. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send the list and a few photos of the sealant items, and we’ll quote. We’ll flag anything that needs another trade.
