Joints and finishes in Woodland homes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In and around Woodland, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Woodland is about 4 miles north of Hythe, in Kent. Woodland gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Our Kent coverage runs to 922 places, and Woodland is one of them. We also work in Chelmsford, about 49 miles from Woodland.
All of CT18 is within our area for new build mastic, from the main roads to the quietest streets. We also cover Skeete (1 mile south-west), Hemsted (1 mile north-west), Lyminge (1 mile east), Rhodes Minnis (1 mile north-east) and Ottinge (1 mile east). Larger places within reach include Ashford (9 miles west), Canterbury (10 miles north), Dover (10 miles east), Folkestone (5 miles south-east), Whitstable (15 miles north) and Deal (15 miles east).
Around Woodland
The nearest railway station is Westenhanger station, about 2.9 miles south-west of the centre. A little further out are Royal Victoria Hospital (5.6 miles south-east) and Saltwood Castle (3.6 miles south). The countryside around Woodland includes Tolsford Hill.
How we handle new build mastic in Woodland
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Woodland. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We work on bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and skirting & floors, and common reasons people get in touch are messy sealant that spoils new finishes and gaps behind new kitchen upstands.
Older homes in small places like Woodland often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a small place like Woodland, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Woodland can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before we start.

Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- The rough size of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Woodland
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak and it shows once the home is in use.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
If you’ve bought a new home near Westenhanger station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether they’re fully insured

Common questions in Woodland
Is Woodland within the area you cover?
Yes. Woodland is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Woodland for new build mastic?
Yes, Woodland is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme, room by room. Tell us the plots and the joints involved and we will quote.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We’ll go through the sealant items and agree what we’ll do.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours in a single home. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
