New build mastic in Brogdale
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Brogdale. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. We work on plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and internal frame sealant that has split.
Somewhere as small as Brogdale, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Brogdale and across Kent.

What else we do in Brogdale
Why act early in Brogdale
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In a small place like Brogdale, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Your questions about new build mastic in Brogdale
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Faversham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Brogdale?
Yes, Brogdale is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours in a single home. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
It depends on the joint: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We agree the colour before work begins.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere as small as Brogdale, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- 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.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
Ask for a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Related advice
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small.
When to call us in Brogdale
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, so the bead never bonds properly.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
Around Brogdale, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- How hidden problems are handled
- What product goes in the joint
- What the cure time is
What affects the cost of new build mastic
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
- The amount of work
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
