New build mastic for homes and businesses in Pluckley
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We work on show homes, kitchens and plot handovers, and people most often call us about sealant that never bonded to the surface and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover.
Somewhere as small as Pluckley, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Common questions in Pluckley
Do you work for landlords with property near Pluckley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Pluckley in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Pluckley is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What colour sealant will you use?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but other colours are available. We choose one to suit the room before we begin.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
How much does new build mastic cost in Pluckley?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
- Working hours on commercial sites
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Landlords and agents in Pluckley can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Pluckley, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
