New build mastic for homes and businesses in Reading Street
Across Reading Street, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you have sealant work across a run of new homes and cracked caulk along new skirting, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Reading Street, 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in.
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
How the visit 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 usually takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Reading Street needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- 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
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We choose one to suit the room and agree it with you.
Should I wait before resealing?
Any seal that’s leaking should be redone straight away. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.

Common problems we fix in Reading Street
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
If you’ve bought a new home near Appledore (Kent) station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Why it’s worth doing now in Reading Street
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. Around Reading Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
