What else we do in Bredhurst
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small.
New build mastic around Bredhurst
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 Rainham (Kent) station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly, and the problem shows up after you move in.
Look out for any of the following:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
Around Bredhurst, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.

Bredhurst questions
Do you cover Bredhurst for new build mastic?
Yes, Bredhurst is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Rainham (Kent) station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Should I wait before resealing?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme, room by room. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope and we will quote.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
What does new build mastic cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Why deal with it now?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. In a small place like Bredhurst, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether the work is at height
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Any access issues, like height or stairs

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification for a quote. Sealant work across the plot is covered as agreed.
