New build mastic in Westgate-on-Sea
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover with a sealant suited to each area. Typical jobs include second-fix sealing on new plots and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, across bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and skirting & floors.
In and around Westgate-on-Sea, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
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.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the size of the job. Parking around Westgate-on-Sea is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

What happens if it’s left?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few photos. Around Westgate-on-Sea, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
New build mastic around Westgate-on-Sea
Westgate-on-Sea 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, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Around Westgate-on-Sea, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Westgate-On-Sea station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
