New build mastic in Bidborough
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Bidborough. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. If you have sealant work across a run of new homes and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Bidborough, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How long does new build mastic take?
Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. If something isn’t sealant, we’ll say so.
Do you have insurance?

Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you hold any approvals?

Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left.

What else we do in Bidborough
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Skirting & floors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Kitchens
- Windows & doors
- Show homes
- Plot handovers
Landlord and commercial work in Bidborough
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What we’re called out for in Bidborough
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
For new homes near Leigh (Kent) station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What the cure time is
- Which colour the sealant will be
How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Bidborough, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
