- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere as small as Paglesham, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, 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 any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Paglesham
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 that stalls, we can do it. We are often asked to deal with cracked caulk along new skirting and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, across bathrooms & en suites, show homes and plot handovers.
Older homes in small places like Paglesham often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Quotes for new build mastic in Paglesham
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
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.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
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.
What sealant work cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

New build mastic around Paglesham
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

Why deal with it now?
The builder is normally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. In a small place like Paglesham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before work begins.

Common problems we fix in Paglesham
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
Around Paglesham, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they hold
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be

Paglesham questions
Do you cover smaller places like Paglesham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do new build mastic in Paglesham?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Paglesham is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
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.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
