About our new build mastic in Detling
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly. If you have plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, we can help, on windows & doors, skirting & floors and plot handovers alike.
Around Detling, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. We reseal once the old bead is fully out with baths filled first.
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed to keep callbacks down.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords and agents in Detling can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Do you need new build mastic in Detling?
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak and it shows once the home is in use.
Look out for any of the following:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
For new homes near Bearsted station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early as timber and plaster dry out. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.

Tell us what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
