New build mastic for homes and businesses in Bentley
Across Bentley, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. Typical jobs include internal frame sealant that has split and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, across plot handovers, skirting & floors and windows & doors.
Older homes in small places like Bentley often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Surface by surface
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Landlords and agents in Bentley can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
When to call us in Bentley
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
Around Bentley, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Common questions in Bentley
Do you cover smaller places like Bentley?
Yes. Bentley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across 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 Brentwood station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
New homes and floors in Bentley
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For new homes near Brentwood station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Around Bentley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
