How we handle new build mastic in Bullockstone
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We work on windows & doors, show homes and skirting & floors, and the jobs we see most are sealant that never bonded to the surface and second-fix sealing on new plots.
For a small place like Bullockstone, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What we are called out for in Bullockstone
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
Around Bullockstone, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What new build mastic looks like in Bullockstone
Bullockstone 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much 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.
Bullockstone is about 1 mile south-west of Herne Bay, in Kent.

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Kitchens
- Plot handovers
- Show homes
- Skirting & floors
- Windows & doors
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is generally left for about a day before water reaches them.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small and the new finishes intact.
What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing.
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.

Bullockstone questions
Is Bullockstone in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Bullockstone is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Herne Bay station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
What colour sealant will you use?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We agree the colour before work begins.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
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.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere as small as Bullockstone, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
