New build mastic in Smarden, done properly
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. Typical jobs include worktop and upstand sealant coming away and new-build shower sealant that has already split, across kitchens, plot handovers and skirting & floors.
Around Smarden, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Smarden as everywhere else we work.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames to a tidy standard. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Windows & doors
- Skirting & floors
- Plot handovers

How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots for a typical job. In a small place like Smarden, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
How to prepare

When to call us in Smarden
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
If you’ve bought a new home near Pluckley station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Before you book anyone

- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
Why it’s worth doing now in Smarden
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot and most come down to preparation. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Smarden, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Smarden
