New build mastic for homes and businesses in Farthing Green
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We work on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens, and the jobs we see most are second-fix sealing on new plots and worktop and upstand sealant coming away.
Older homes in small places like Farthing Green often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers so moisture doesn’t sit on the sealant.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We’ll go through the sealant items and agree what we’ll do.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Do you need new build mastic in Farthing Green?
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly and it shows once the home is in use.
The most common problems we see are:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
For new homes near Staplehurst station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How long the guarantee is
- How the colour is chosen
Surface by surface
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
