What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Bridge, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access

New build mastic in Bridge
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. If you’re dealing with sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, we can help, on skirting & floors, show homes and windows & doors alike.
Around Bridge, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Bridge and across Kent.

When to call us in Bridge
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
If you’ve bought a new home near Bekesbourne station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

New build mastic in Bridge: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Around Bridge, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Bridge is about 3 miles south-east of Canterbury, in Kent. Bridge gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Bridge is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we work. Chelmsford is on our list too, about 44 miles from Bridge.
All of CT4 is covered for new build mastic. Whether your property is on High Street, Station Road and Western Avenue or anywhere close by, our applicators can take on the job. If you are just outside Bridge, we cover Patrixbourne (1 mile north-east), Bishopsbourne (1 mile south), Bekesbourne Hill (1 mile north-east), Bekesbourne (1 mile north-east) and Kingston (2 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Ashford (13 miles south-west), Canterbury (3 miles north-west), Margate (15 miles north-east), Dover (11 miles south-east), Folkestone (11 miles south) and Ramsgate (14 miles north-east).
Landmarks near Bridge
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to The Bridge Arms and St. Anselm's Catholic School and the streets around them. The closest station to Bridge is Bekesbourne station, roughly 1.2 miles north-east. Other landmarks nearby include Canterbury Roman Museum (2.9 miles north-west) and Kent and Canterbury Hospital (2.1 miles north-west). For a walk, there’s Blean Woods RSPB Reserve.
What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish ready for viewings. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. Dust from the build is removed first.
What we cannot put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Show homes
- Skirting & floors
- Plot handovers
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Kitchens
- Windows & doors

- Mould in or behind the old joints
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
What to tell us for a quote

- The address or postcode of the job
- A few photos by email, if you can
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Leave it or put it right?
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bridge, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
