New build mastic for homes and businesses in Snargate
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. If you have worktop and upstand sealant coming away and internal frame sealant that has split, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Snargate, 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.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Surface by surface
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. Dust from the build is removed first and prime where the product needs it.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours in a single home. For a village or hamlet like Snargate, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Why it’s worth doing now in Snargate
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Older cottages and farmhouses around Snargate can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Signs you need new build mastic in Snargate
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak and it shows once the home is in use.
Look out for these signs:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
Around Snargate, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
