New Build Mastic in Pootings
Our applicators work in Pootings on plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
New build mastic in Pootings, done properly
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover with a sealant suited to each area. We are often asked to deal with skirting joints opening in the first winter and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, on windows & doors, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites.
For a small place like Pootings, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Your questions about new build mastic in Pootings
Is Pootings within the area you cover?
Yes, Pootings is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Edenbridge station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Should I go to my builder first?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, before resealing.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send it with photos and we’ll quote for the sealant items. If something is not sealant, we will say so.
Common problems we fix in Pootings
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, so the bead never bonds properly.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
For new homes near Edenbridge station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

What affects the quote in Pootings
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Access and height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
- Any mould that needs treating
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

- Any previous sealing or DIY work

Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.
The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Pootings, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip 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, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
