New-build mastic & snagging in Waldershare, Kent
We cover Waldershare for plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.

Why it’s worth doing now in Waldershare
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In a small place like Waldershare, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

New build mastic in Waldershare
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. We’re often asked to deal with shower seals failing in the first year or two and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, across bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and skirting & floors.
For a small place like Waldershare, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What else we do in Waldershare
Common problems we fix in Waldershare
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and can tear.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
If you’ve bought a new home near Shepherds Well station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Are they insured?
- How long to leave it before use
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Waldershare questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Shepherds Well station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Waldershare?
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.
How long does new build mastic take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Should I go to my builder first?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If it is not sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common, because the house is drying and settling. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like Waldershare, 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 start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- 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.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
