New Build Mastic in Brabourne Lees
We cover Brabourne Lees for plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
New build mastic in Brabourne Lees, done properly
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. We work on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and show homes, and the jobs we see most are gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and sealant that never bonded to the surface.
Older homes in small places like Brabourne Lees often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Kitchens
- Plot handovers
- Windows & doors
- Show homes
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Skirting & floors
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and the new finishes intact.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots for a typical job. In a small place like Brabourne Lees, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why it’s worth doing now in Brabourne Lees
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. Older cottages and farmhouses around Brabourne Lees can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why book with us
- Fully insured
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Arbo and Everbuild products

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Do you need new build mastic in Brabourne Lees?
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and the sealant may split.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
Around Brabourne Lees, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
