New build mastic in Sholden
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover using the right product for each joint. We work on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about second-fix sealing on new plots and gaps behind new kitchen upstands.
In a village or hamlet like Sholden, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Leave it or put it right?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal can’t. If you’re unsure which you have, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with pictures. Older cottages and farmhouses around Sholden can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, 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.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. 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 like Sholden needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
It’s common, and there are usually two reasons: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
What colour sealant will you use?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish and agree it with you.
What new build mastic looks like in Sholden
Sholden is within about 2 miles of 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.
For new homes near Deal station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Sholden is about 1 mile north-west of Deal, in Kent. Across the CT14 area, our applicators can take on new build mastic. Our Kent coverage runs to 922 places, and Sholden is one of them. There’s also a page for Chelmsford, roughly 52 miles from Sholden.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

Do you need new build mastic in Sholden?
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and can tear.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
