New build mastic for homes and businesses in Boughton under Blean

If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. If you have new-build shower sealant that has already split and sealant that never bonded to the surface, we can help.

Older homes in small places like Boughton under Blean often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface

Skirting and floors

Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.

Show homes

Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Boughton under Blean

For anyone letting property in or around Boughton under Blean, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.

We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.

Why deal with it now?

Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but water getting through can’t. If you are unsure which you have, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer. In a small place like Boughton under Blean, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Read our cost guide and what customers say.

Can I do it myself?

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
  • Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
  • Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
  • Wipe joints with warm soapy water

Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers so moisture doesn’t sit on the sealant.

A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

Do you need new build mastic in Boughton under Blean?

The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracks appear in the sealant.

The most common problems we see are:

  • Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
  • Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
  • Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
  • Gaps between new skirting and floors

Around Boughton under Blean, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Boughton under Blean questions

Do you cover smaller places like Boughton under Blean?

Yes, Boughton under Blean is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

I let a flat near Selling station. Can you help?

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.

Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?

That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We’ll agree it with you first.

Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?

Lots of new homes see sealant crack early. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.

When is the best time to reseal in a new build?

It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.

Can you work on commercial sites?

Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.

How long before the joint can be used?

Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.

How the visit works

The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes a few hours in a single home, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Boughton under Blean, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
  2. Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
  3. Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
  4. A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
  5. Each area is checked and left with its cure time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking restrictions
  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
