How we handle new build mastic in Bearsted
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. Typical jobs include cracks appearing as a new home settles and skirting joints opening in the first winter, on show homes, kitchens and windows & doors.
Homes around Bearsted range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

FAQs for Bearsted
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bearsted station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Bearsted?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots and we leave things clean and tidy. In a smaller place like Bearsted, 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.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- 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
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Sealant work across a run of new homes

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
New homes and floors in Bearsted
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For new homes near Bearsted station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

What happens if it’s left?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal cannot. If you’re unsure which you have, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with photos and we will tell you. Homes in smaller places like Bearsted can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Follow the cure time we give you
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Bearsted, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
