About our new build mastic in Elham
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We’re often asked to deal with smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, across show homes, skirting & floors and kitchens.
In a village or hamlet like Elham, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

When to call us in Elham
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. 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:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
If you’ve bought a new home near Sandling station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job generally takes a few hours in a single home, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere like Elham needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

How the job changes by surface
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish. We’ll plan around viewing times.
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.
Questions from Elham
I let a flat near Sandling station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you come out to Elham?
Yes. Elham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Should I wait before resealing?
That depends on the joint. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours in a single home. Bigger jobs take longer.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Why act early in Elham
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. Around Elham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
