New build mastic for homes and businesses in Broomfield
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. If you are dealing with frame joints opening as the plaster dries and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, we can help.
Work in a small place like Broomfield just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
Why deal with it now?
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 Broomfield, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

What else we do in Broomfield
Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Plot handovers
- Show homes
- Kitchens

- Bathrooms & en suites
- Windows & doors
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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’re called out for in Broomfield
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
Around Broomfield, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

New build mastic in Broomfield: local notes
Broomfield is within about 2 miles of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For new homes near Herne Bay station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Broomfield is about 1 mile south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. From the centre of Broomfield to the outskirts, we cover new build mastic for every kind of property. Across Kent, we cover 922 places, Broomfield among them. For nearby work, see our Chelmsford page, about 39 miles away.

How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Broomfield, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
