New build mastic for homes and businesses in Bredgar
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’re often asked to deal with new-build shower sealant that has already split and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, on windows & doors, kitchens and show homes.
Work in a small place like Bredgar just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Bredgar and everywhere else we cover.

FAQs for Bredgar
Do you cover smaller places like Bredgar?

What does new build mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Should I go to my builder first?
If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If it isn’t sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. We always remove the existing bead, then clean and prime the joint, and a new bead applied.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
There are usually two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is normally left for about a day to cure enough for use.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
What affects the quote in Bredgar
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.
What we are called out for in Bredgar
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Internal frame sealant that has split
If you’ve bought a new home near Sittingbourne station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they hold
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
What the job involves on each surface
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk.
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bredgar
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 tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bredgar can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why Bredgar clients choose us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
