Is new build mastic in Ashford guaranteed?
All our work, in Ashford and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
White and clear are the most common, but other colours are available. We match the colour to the finish.
What does new build mastic cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Should I wait before resealing?
Any seal that is leaking should be redone right away. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.

About our new build mastic in Ashford
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first, and if it is not put right, get in touch with us. If you’re dealing with sealant that never bonded to the surface and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, we can put it right, on bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and windows & doors alike.
Commercial units around a large town like Ashford normally have concrete floors with joints that need filling and resealing as they wear. Homes need the same attention on a smaller scale, from skirting joints to shower seals.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Ashford as everywhere else we work.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours in a single home. Jobs in a place the size of Ashford range from town-centre flats to offices and family homes. Whichever it is, tell us how to get in, where to park and where the work is.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Leave it or put it right?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In a busy place like Ashford, a failed joint in a flat or office can send water into the space below, where it can go unnoticed until the damage is done.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
What you get with us
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- We agree the colour with you first
- 180+ five-star Google reviews

What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Windows & doors
- Show homes
- Kitchens
- Skirting & floors
- Plot handovers
When to call us in Ashford
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and the sealant may split.
The most common problems we see are:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
In and around Ashford, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

- What the quote includes, VAT included or not

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, which opens gaps along the back. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
