New build mastic in Abbey Gate
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. Common call-outs are for sealant that never bonded to the surface and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, on plot handovers, windows & doors and skirting & floors.
Somewhere as small as Abbey Gate, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like Abbey Gate, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- 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
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Questions from Abbey Gate
Will you come out to Abbey Gate?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Abbey Gate for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Abbey Gate is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. We always remove the existing bead, then clean and prime the joint, before resealing.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
Where water is getting through, don’t wait. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish and agree it with you.
When to call us in Abbey Gate
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
For new homes near Maidstone East station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Before you book anyone
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if the job turns out different
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Leave it or put it right?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few pictures. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Abbey Gate, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
