Aylesford New Build Mastic
Plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes for homes and businesses in Aylesford and across Kent. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours in a single home. In a smaller place like Aylesford, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- 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.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

New build mastic in Aylesford
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks. We are often asked to deal with gaps between new skirting and floors and sealant work across a run of new homes, on kitchens, windows & doors and skirting & floors.
For a new home in or near Aylesford, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Do you need new build mastic in Aylesford?
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak, and the problem shows up after you move in.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
For new homes near Aylesford station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
