New build mastic in Claygate Cross
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Claygate Cross. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. Typical jobs include skirting joints opening in the first winter and cracks appearing as a new home settles, across plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors.
Somewhere as small as Claygate Cross, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.

Leave it or put it right?
The builder is usually the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Around Claygate Cross, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
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 the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Do you need new build mastic in Claygate Cross?
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and the sealant may split.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
If you’ve bought a new home near Borough Green & Wrotham station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

- What preparation is included
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is generally left for about a day.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.

Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We’ll go through the sealant items and agree what we will do.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Start with the builder if you’re in the snagging or warranty period. Once that’s done, or if they won’t put it right, we’ll cut it out and reseal it.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.
