New build mastic for homes and businesses in West Hythe
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. We work on kitchens, windows & doors and skirting & floors, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and sealant work across a run of new homes.
For a small place like West Hythe, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in West Hythe and everywhere else we cover.

Landlord and commercial work in West Hythe
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
If you manage several properties in or around West Hythe, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
New build mastic in West Hythe: local notes
West Hythe is within about 2 miles of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In and around West Hythe, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours in a single home, depending on how much there is to do.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
What affects the cost of new build mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that is easy
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.

You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Your builder, if you’re still in their snagging or warranty period. If that does not work out, we’re happy to quote and our work is guaranteed for a year.

When to call us in West Hythe
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
The most common problems we see are:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
For new homes near Westenhanger station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether VAT is included
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
