New Build Mastic in Paddock Wood
Problem with your new-build sealant joints in Paddock Wood? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
New build mastic in Paddock Wood, done properly
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. Typical jobs include untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and cracked caulk along new skirting, across windows & doors, show homes and skirting & floors.
Homes around Paddock Wood range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It normally takes a few hours in a single home. In a smaller place like Paddock Wood, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Where water is getting through, don’t wait. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.

Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

How we quote for new build mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The type of sealant required
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:

Want a quote for new build mastic? Please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the job. We will explain what we’d do and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
