Sholden Meadows New Build Mastic
New-build sealant joints in Sholden Meadows need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
What the job involves on each surface
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.
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
How we handle new build mastic in Sholden Meadows
Across Sholden Meadows, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. If you have joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Sholden Meadows, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Sholden Meadows: your questions answered
Do you cover Sholden Meadows for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Sholden Meadows is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Deal station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send us the plot schedule and we’ll quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
It depends on the joint: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We agree the colour before we start.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
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.
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.

What new build mastic looks like in Sholden Meadows
Sholden Meadows is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, 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.

In a small place like Sholden Meadows, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
