New build mastic in Speldhurst, done properly
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first and if that stalls, we can do it. We’re often asked to deal with gaps between new skirting and floors and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, on plot handovers, show homes and windows & doors.
For a small place like Speldhurst, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

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.
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is usually simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times for the lot. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Speldhurst, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- Colour agreed with you before we start

Take a look at what affects the cost and our reviews.
Do you need new build mastic in Speldhurst?
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
For new homes near Tunbridge Wells station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they hold
- What the cure time is
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How hidden problems are handled
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a few hours in a single home. For a village or hamlet like Speldhurst, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- 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
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
