New-build mastic & snagging in Perrywood, Kent
Our applicators work in Perrywood on plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
Why deal with it now?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Perrywood can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

New build mastic in Perrywood
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. If you have shower seals failing in the first year or two and sealant work across a run of new homes, we can help.
Around Perrywood, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Follow the cure time we give you
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.

Perrywood questions
Is Perrywood within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do new build mastic in Perrywood?
Yes, Perrywood is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common, because the house is drying and settling. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
How long does new build mastic take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we’re fully insured.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Start with the builder if you are in the snagging or warranty period. If it isn’t resolved, we can reseal it properly.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Any seal that’s leaking should be redone straight away. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Joints and finishes in Perrywood homes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you’ve bought a new home near Selling station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

When to call us in Perrywood
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
In and around Perrywood, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
