How we handle new build mastic in Bekesbourne
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. We work on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and kitchens, and the jobs we see most are gaps behind new kitchen upstands and cracked sealant around new window and door frames.
Around Bekesbourne, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.

Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common as timber and plaster dry out. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Where do you work from?

You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What new build mastic looks like in Bekesbourne
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For new homes near Bekesbourne station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. Around Bekesbourne, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What happens if it’s left?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Around Bekesbourne, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
