New Build Mastic in Snoll Hatch
New-build sealant joints in Snoll Hatch need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
New build mastic in Snoll Hatch, done properly
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We work on show homes, skirting & floors and windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are cracked caulk along new skirting and worktop and upstand sealant coming away.
In a village or hamlet like Snoll Hatch, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Snoll Hatch and across Kent. Several sites can be quoted together.
Do you need new build mastic in Snoll Hatch?
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly, and the problem shows up after you move in.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
If you’ve bought a new home near Beltring station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Joints and finishes in Snoll Hatch homes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out, 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 in most cases. Somewhere as small as Snoll Hatch, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear the area around the work

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it, which can damage the surface.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
