How the job changes by surface
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Ramsgate
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We’re often asked to deal with skirting joints opening in the first winter and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors.
In a town like Ramsgate, older houses sit alongside newer estates, with new homes still going up on the edge of many towns. In a newer home, sealant and floor joints are normally among the first things to need attention.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Joints and finishes in Ramsgate homes
Ramsgate 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In and around Ramsgate, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What we’re called out for in Ramsgate
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and can tear.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
If you’ve bought a new home near Ramsgate station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Ramsgate?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.

Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.

Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours in a single home. For a job in Ramsgate, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. If the job is outside, mention gates, side access and anything above ground floor.
- 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.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work
How to get a quote

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
