New-build mastic & snagging in Weddington, Kent
Problem with your new-build sealant joints in Weddington? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
How we handle new build mastic in Weddington
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. If you have smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can help, on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and kitchens alike.
Somewhere as small as Weddington, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Joints and finishes in Weddington homes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Around Weddington, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Sandwich station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in and baths are filled before sealing.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is normally left for about a day.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.
Questions from Weddington
Can you do new build mastic in Weddington?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Weddington is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sandwich station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Weddington.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. All the old sealant comes out before work begins.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We will go through the sealant items and agree what we’ll do.
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.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Weddington, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
How to get a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Related advice
When it is not the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Kitchens
- Windows & doors
- Plot handovers
- Skirting & floors
- Show homes
- Bathrooms & en suites
What happens if it’s left?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Weddington can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber 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.
