New build mastic in Fordcombe, done properly
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We’re often asked to deal with cracked caulk along new skirting and second-fix sealing on new plots, across bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and plot handovers.
Somewhere as small as Fordcombe, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Fordcombe as everywhere else we work.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
Why act early in Fordcombe
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few photos and we’ll give you a straight answer. In a small place like Fordcombe, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.

Fordcombe questions
Do you cover smaller places like Fordcombe?
Yes, Fordcombe is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do new build mastic in Fordcombe?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Fordcombe is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Bigger jobs take longer.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.
When it is not the sealant
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant.
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere as small as Fordcombe, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Signs you need new build mastic in Fordcombe

Look out for any of the following:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
If you’ve bought a new home near Ashurst Kent station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
