New Build Mastic in Scarborough
Professional new build mastic in and around Scarborough, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
New build mastic in Scarborough, done properly
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. We work on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and kitchens, and people most often call us about gaps behind new kitchen upstands and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging.
Somewhere as small as Scarborough, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

Joints and finishes in Scarborough homes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In and around Scarborough, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Scarborough is about 3 miles south-west of Chatham, in Medway. We provide new build mastic to homeowners, landlords and businesses in Scarborough, as part of our work across Medway. Scarborough is one of 68 towns and villages in Medway we cover. We also work in London, around 27 miles away.

How the job changes by surface
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing and prime where the product needs it.
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
When to call us in Scarborough
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
If you’ve bought a new home near Snodland station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Landlords and letting agents in Scarborough can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Questions from Scarborough
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Snodland station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Scarborough in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Scarborough is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours in a single home. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send us the plot schedule and we’ll quote.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
White and clear are the most common, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish before we begin.
