How we handle new build mastic in Broad Tenterden
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks instead of bonding to the dust. We work on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and show homes, and the jobs we see most are beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and gaps between new skirting and floors.
Around Broad Tenterden, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Broad Tenterden: your questions answered
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Broad Tenterden?
All our work, in Broad Tenterden and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Broad Tenterden in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Broad Tenterden is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.

What happens if it’s left?
If you are still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Around Broad Tenterden, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

When to call us in Broad Tenterden
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry before the sealant goes on.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
Around Broad Tenterden, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How long to leave it before use
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing

What else we do in Broad Tenterden
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
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.
What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Plot handovers
- Windows & doors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Kitchens
- Show homes
- Skirting & floors
