New build mastic in Yorkletts, done properly
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. If you are dealing with beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and cracks appearing as a new home settles, we can help, on skirting & floors, kitchens and plot handovers alike.
Work in a small place like Yorkletts just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

- The type of property
- Whether it has been sealed before

It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
New homes and floors in Yorkletts
Yorkletts 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.
If you’ve bought a new home near Whitstable station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If it is not sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.

Why it’s worth doing now in Yorkletts
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time and most come down to preparation. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Yorkletts, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.
Common problems we fix in Yorkletts
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracked sealant shows up.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
