About our new build mastic in Frittenden
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. We work on windows & doors, kitchens and show homes, and common reasons people get in touch are new-build shower sealant that has already split and cracks appearing as a new home settles.
Somewhere as small as Frittenden, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

FAQs for Frittenden
I let a flat near Headcorn station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Frittenden?
Yes. Frittenden is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.

We work from Crawley. We cover Frittenden and the rest of Kent, along with the rest of our area.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Should I wait before resealing?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
What new build mastic looks like in Frittenden
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

Why act early in Frittenden
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Around Frittenden, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why book with us

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Skirting & floors
- Plot handovers
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Show homes
- Kitchens
- Windows & doors
Common problems we fix in Frittenden
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
In and around Frittenden, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What else we do in Frittenden
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours in a single home.

- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
