How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours in a single home from start to finish. In a smaller place like Ringlestone, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
New build mastic in Ringlestone
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Ringlestone. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We’re often asked to deal with internal frame sealant that has split and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, on plot handovers, skirting & floors and windows & doors.
For a new home in or near Ringlestone, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Surface by surface
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, which opens gaps along the back. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
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.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
Do you need new build mastic in Ringlestone?
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
For new homes near Maidstone Barracks station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

How we quote for new build mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor

Questions from Ringlestone
Is Ringlestone within the area you cover?
Yes. Ringlestone is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Maidstone Barracks station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send the schedule and any specification and we will give you a quote.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
There are normally two causes: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Your builder, if you are still in their snagging or warranty period. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it with our 12-month guarantee.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Why deal with it now?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Homes in smaller places like Ringlestone can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
