New build mastic in Ringwould, 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’re often asked to deal with smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, across windows & doors, skirting & floors and plot handovers.
Somewhere as small as Ringwould, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. We clean out building dust before sealing and prime where the product needs it.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots in most cases. Somewhere as small as Ringwould, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Why it’s worth doing now in Ringwould
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ringwould can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
Common questions in Ringwould
Do you cover Ringwould for new build mastic?
Yes, Ringwould is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Walmer station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
How much does new build mastic cost in Ringwould?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Bigger jobs take longer.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
Where water is getting through, do not wait. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
New build mastic in Ringwould: local notes
Ringwould is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In and around Ringwould, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
