New build mastic in Broad Street, done properly
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 have beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and new-build shower sealant that has already split, we can help, on show homes, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites alike.
Around Broad Street, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots from start to finish. In a small place like Broad Street, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Signs you need new build mastic in Broad Street
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracked sealant shows up.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
If you’ve bought a new home near Hollingbourne station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
