- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
How we handle new build mastic in Brookland
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first and if that stalls, we can do it. We work on windows & doors, skirting & floors and kitchens, and people most often call us about shower seals failing in the first year or two and cracked sealant around new window and door frames.
For a small place like Brookland, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

Brookland: your questions answered
Is Brookland in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Brookland is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Appledore (Kent) 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 I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We’ll agree it with you first.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
There are normally two causes: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.

What else we do in Brookland
Why act early in Brookland
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Brookland, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in and baths are filled before sealing.
New build mastic in Brookland: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For new homes near Appledore (Kent) station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. In and around Brookland, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere as small as Brookland, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
