New build mastic in Fant, done properly
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover using the right product for each joint. We work on plot handovers, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites, and common reasons people get in touch are internal frame sealant that has split and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Fant, it’s often a small development or a single plot. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Signs you need new build mastic in Fant
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak, and the problem shows up after you move in.
Look out for these signs:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
If you’ve bought a new home near East Farleigh station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- The length of the guarantee
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether you can choose the colour

How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, including the tidy-up. In a smaller place like Fant, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
How to get a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you are ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Advice
What affects the cost of new build mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The address or postcode of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.

Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

Your questions about new build mastic in Fant
Will you come out to Fant?
Yes. Fant 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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near East Farleigh station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We agree the sealant items with you before work begins.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We agree the colour before we start.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in with baths filled first.
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish to a tidy standard. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
