Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
New build mastic in Frogham, done properly
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. Typical jobs include gaps between new skirting and floors and shower seals failing in the first year or two, across plot handovers, show homes and windows & doors.
Older homes in small places like Frogham often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Frogham and across Kent.

Quotes for new build mastic in Frogham
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How much there is to do
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If someone has resealed it before
- The address or postcode of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details and send pictures if you have them.
Leave it or put it right?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Frogham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why book with us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- We are fully insured
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- A choice of colours where the product allows
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere like Frogham needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
Signs you need new build mastic in Frogham
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
Around Frogham, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What the cure time is
- What insurance they hold

Your questions about new build mastic in Frogham
Will you come out to Frogham?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Frogham?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
