How we handle new build mastic in West Kingsdown
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. Common call-outs are for worktop and upstand sealant coming away and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, on windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors.
For a new home in or near West Kingsdown, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in West Kingsdown and everywhere else we cover.

What happens on the day
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. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Parking around West Kingsdown is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Move anything stored near the joints

- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. We use a sealant suited to kitchens suited to the job.
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant in a matching colour.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is normally left for about a day before water reaches them.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.

Do you need new build mastic in West Kingsdown?
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry first.
Look out for these signs:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
If you’ve bought a new home near Eynsford station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Why deal with it now?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Around West Kingsdown, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
