New build mastic for homes and businesses in The Stocks
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference. Typical jobs include messy sealant that spoils new finishes and new-build shower sealant that has already split, on show homes, plot handovers and windows & doors.
Work in a small place like The Stocks just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Surface by surface
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one in a matching colour.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours in a single home, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like The Stocks, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
How to get a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that’s easy.

Why deal with it now?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot and most come down to preparation. Around The Stocks, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Questions from The Stocks
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Rye station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like The Stocks?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If it is not sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Record problems with dated photos
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you.
