New build mastic in Shorne Ridgeway, 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 that stalls, we can do it. If you have sealant work across a run of new homes and internal frame sealant that has split, we can help, on plot handovers, kitchens and skirting & floors alike.

Work in a small place like Shorne Ridgeway just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.

Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shorne Ridgeway

We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Shorne Ridgeway and across Kent. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.

Why act early in Shorne Ridgeway

It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times. Around Shorne Ridgeway, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Take a look at what affects the cost or customer reviews.

Surface by surface

Kitchens

Sink joints are wet all the time. A kitchen sealant goes in there suited to the job.

Windows and doors

On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.

When it isn’t the sealant

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

  • Cracking that points to a structural problem
  • Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
  • A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed

If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

What we seal

  • Bathrooms & en suites
  • Kitchens
  • Skirting & floors
  • Show homes
  • Plot handovers
  • Windows & doors

What affects the cost of new build mastic

We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:

  • The product the joint needs
  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • When we can work, for business premises
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with

No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Helping us quote

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:

  • A few pictures by email, if you can
  • The problem you’ve noticed
  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • The type of property

There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

The process

When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Shorne Ridgeway, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
  3. Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
  4. New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
  5. We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any tricky access
  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Will you come out to Shorne Ridgeway?

Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Can you do plot mastic on a new development?

Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send us the plot schedule and we’ll quote.

Is there any odour?

Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.

The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.

  • Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
  • Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
  • Skirting joints opening in the first winter
  • Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
