About our new build mastic in Small Hythe
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over using the right product for each joint. Common call-outs are for sealant that never bonded to the surface and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, across windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors.
Somewhere as small as Small Hythe, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Questions from Small Hythe
Can you do new build mastic in Small Hythe?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Small Hythe is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Small Hythe?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
How long does new build mastic take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Bigger jobs take longer.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, then clean and prime the joint, before resealing.

For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Landlords and letting agents in Small Hythe can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
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.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
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.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Small Hythe, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
When to call us in Small Hythe
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
In and around Small Hythe, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Before booking anyone
- What the cure time is
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What happens if the job turns out different
What affects the quote in Small Hythe
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Which sealant suits the joint
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Roughly how big the job is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
