How we handle new build mastic in Barming Heath
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. If you have skirting joints opening in the first winter and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, we can help, on plot handovers, show homes and windows & doors alike.
In a village or hamlet like Barming Heath, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for Barming Heath
I let a flat near East Farleigh station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Barming Heath?
Yes, Barming Heath is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme ready for handover. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope for a clear quote.
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 getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Barming Heath

Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture doesn’t sit on the sealant.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
