About our new build mastic in Shotgate
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We work on plot handovers, kitchens and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about worktop and upstand sealant coming away and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list.
Somewhere as small as Shotgate, 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.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Older cottages and farmhouses around Shotgate can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will talk you through it.
What you get with us

Your questions about new build mastic in Shotgate
Do you cover smaller places like Shotgate?

How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Shotgate?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
White and clear are the most common, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send us the plot schedule and we will quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, which opens gaps along the back. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
Joints and finishes in Shotgate homes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
