New-build mastic & snagging in Pedlinge, Kent

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Pedlinge
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over with a sealant suited to each area. Typical jobs include kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, across windows & doors, skirting & floors and show homes.
Work in a small place like Pedlinge just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

When to call us in Pedlinge
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and can tear.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
In and around Pedlinge, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

What else we do in Pedlinge
New build mastic in Pedlinge: local notes
Pedlinge is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. 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.
If you’ve bought a new home near Sandling station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Pedlinge is about 1 mile north-west of Hythe, in Kent. Pedlinge gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Our area takes in 922 places across Kent, large and small. We also work in Chelmsford, around 52 miles away.
Work in CT21 works the same way as everywhere else we cover. Pedlinge is on the A261, so it’s easy for us to get to. Nearby, we also carry out new build mastic in Sandling (1 mile north-east), Newingreen (1 mile north-west), Berwick (1 mile west), Saltwood (1 mile east) and Westenhanger (1 mile north-west).

What’s near Pedlinge
Typical jobs here are in homes near St Augustine's Catholic Primary School, The Royal Oak Public House and Brockhill Country Park and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Sandling station, roughly 0.9 miles north-east of the centre. A little further out are Saltwood Castle (1.3 miles east) and Hythe Museum (1.4 miles south-east). Not far away are Tolsford Hill.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on how much there is to do. For a village or hamlet like Pedlinge, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
