New build mastic for homes and businesses in Farthingloe
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We work on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and show homes, and common reasons people get in touch are skirting joints opening in the first winter and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles.
Older homes in small places like Farthingloe often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Common problems we fix in Farthingloe
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracks appear in the sealant.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
For new homes near Dover Priory station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Your questions about new build mastic in Farthingloe
Do you work for landlords with property near Dover Priory station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover Farthingloe for new build mastic?
Yes, Farthingloe is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send it with photos and we will quote for the sealant items. If something isn’t sealant, we’ll say so.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Farthingloe?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We choose one to suit the room before we begin.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If they’re slow or the fix doesn’t last, we can help.
Why it’s worth doing now in Farthingloe
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal can’t. If you are unsure which you have, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer. Older cottages and farmhouses around Farthingloe can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

New build mastic around Farthingloe
Farthingloe is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Around Farthingloe, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is usually left for about a day to cure enough for use.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
