New build mastic in Chalksole Green
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. Common call-outs are for messy sealant that spoils new finishes and gaps between new skirting and floors, on skirting & floors, show homes and plot handovers.
Older homes in small places like Chalksole Green often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with

What new build mastic looks like in Chalksole Green
Chalksole Green is close to 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.
Around Chalksole Green, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Kearsney station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What happens if it’s left?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chalksole Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
