How we handle new build mastic in Dockenfield
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 reaches anything behind it. We are often asked to deal with beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and kitchens.
For a small place like Dockenfield, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Dockenfield as everywhere else we work.

- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
For new homes near Bentley (Hampshire) station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Dockenfield can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Dockenfield and across Surrey. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Record problems with dated photos
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.
FAQs for Dockenfield
Do you work for landlords with property near Bentley (Hampshire) station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover Dockenfield for new build mastic?
Yes, Dockenfield is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We’ll agree it with you first.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
