How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like West Hougham, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Do you need new build mastic in West Hougham?
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracks appear in the sealant.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
In and around West Hougham, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

New homes and floors in West Hougham
West Hougham is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For new homes near Kearsney station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Leave it or put it right?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but water getting through can’t. If you are unsure which you have, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with pictures. In a small place like West Hougham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
