New-build mastic & snagging in Well Street, Kent
New build mastic across Well Street and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
How we handle new build mastic in Well Street
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. Common call-outs are for frame joints opening as the plaster dries and sealant that never bonded to the surface, on show homes, kitchens and skirting & floors.
Work in a small place like Well Street 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.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left.

What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours in a single home for a typical job. In a small place like Well Street, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.

- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare

Related advice
Do you need new build mastic in Well Street?
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
Around Well Street, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Common questions in Well Street
Can you help a landlord with a rental near East Malling station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you do new build mastic in Well Street?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Well Street is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
It’s common, and there are usually two reasons: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
White and clear are the most common, but other colours are available. We choose one to suit the room and agree it with you.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with pictures if you can and we’ll give you a quote. We’ll tell you if anything on it isn’t a sealant job.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Well Street.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.

Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Joints are prepared properly before sealing so the sealant lasts.

Joints and finishes in Well Street homes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
