Joints and finishes in Bean homes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In and around Bean, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you’ve bought a new home near Greenhithe for Bluewater station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

New build mastic in Bean, done properly
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly. If you’re dealing with sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, we can help, on kitchens, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites alike.
Somewhere as small as Bean, 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Landlords and letting agents in Bean can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Why act early in Bean
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bean, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours in a single home from start to finish. Somewhere like Bean needs a little journey planning: 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.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Bean questions
Do you cover smaller places like Bean?
Yes. Bean is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Greenhithe for Bluewater station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
It’s common, and there are normally two reasons: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send the list and a few pictures of the sealant items. We will flag anything that needs another trade.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Record problems with dated photos
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small.
Quotes for new build mastic in Bean
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
