About our new build mastic in Fleeden
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. Typical jobs include cracks appearing as a new home settles and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and show homes.
In a village or hamlet like Fleeden, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Advice
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Record problems with dated photos
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
Fleeden questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Pluckley 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’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover Fleeden for new build mastic?
Yes, Fleeden is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
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 agree the colour before work begins.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Should I go to my builder first?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that doesn’t work out, we’re happy to quote with our one-year guarantee.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. We will ask anything else we need to know.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Common problems we fix in Fleeden
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
Around Fleeden, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
