About our new build mastic in Sheldwich
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. Common call-outs are for smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and sealant that never bonded to the surface, on plot handovers, kitchens and skirting & floors.
Somewhere as small as Sheldwich, 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.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
- Working hours on commercial sites
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Record problems with dated photos
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere as small as Sheldwich, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
Landlord and commercial work in Sheldwich
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Should I try it myself first?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
