New build mastic for homes and businesses in Chatham Waterfront
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. Common call-outs are for worktop and upstand sealant coming away and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors.
Homes around Chatham Waterfront range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
New homes and floors in Chatham Waterfront
Chatham Waterfront is within about 3 miles of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, 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 Chatham Waterfront, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Common problems we fix in Chatham Waterfront
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
If you’ve bought a new home near Chatham station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Is VAT in the price?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Why it’s worth doing now in Chatham Waterfront
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal cannot. If you are unsure which you have, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with pictures. Homes in smaller places like Chatham Waterfront can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, and the area is left clean. A visit to Chatham Waterfront is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any tricky access
How to get a quote

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
Chatham Waterfront: your questions answered
Is Chatham Waterfront in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Chatham Waterfront is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Chatham station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Should I go to my builder first?
If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If they’re slow or the fix doesn’t last, we can help.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
