New build mastic in Smeeth, done properly
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant generally lacks. We work on skirting & floors, show homes and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and frame joints opening as the plaster dries.
Somewhere as small as Smeeth, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a small place like Smeeth, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. Dust from the build is removed first and primer used where needed.
Why deal with it now?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. In a small place like Smeeth, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
