New-build mastic & snagging in Staple, Kent
New-build sealant joints in Staple need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
How we handle new build mastic in Staple
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Staple. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. We work on show homes, windows & doors and skirting & floors, and common reasons people get in touch are shower seals failing in the first year or two and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build.
Older homes in small places like Staple often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.

Common problems we fix in Staple
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
If you’ve bought a new home near Adisham station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
What to look for in a quote
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
What happens if it’s left?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. Older cottages and farmhouses around Staple can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What you get with us
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Tidy, careful work
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Sealant colour chosen to suit

London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. We use a sealant suited to kitchens, food-safe where it’s needed.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Staple and across Kent. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured for the work.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere as small as Staple, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property
