New build mastic in Seaton
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. If you are dealing with untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Seaton, 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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Surface by surface
Plot handovers
Send us the schedule and any sealant specification for a quote. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors as agreed.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
What affects the quote in Seaton
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The type of sealant required
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The rough size of the job
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
What else we do in Seaton
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Questions from Seaton
I let a flat near Bekesbourne station. Can you help?

Is Seaton in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Seaton is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?

Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with the builder if you are in the snagging or warranty period. Once that’s done, or if they will not put it right, we can reseal it properly.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
When to call us in Seaton
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
Around Seaton, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote
- Are they insured?
- Which colour the sealant will be
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Seaton, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
