New Build Mastic in Grafty Green

- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant

How we handle new build mastic in Grafty Green
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. If you’re dealing with cracked sealant around new window and door frames and second-fix sealing on new plots, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Grafty Green, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How we quote for new build mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
- Where the job is, and your postcode
If you are in Grafty Green and need new build mastic, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Grafty Green, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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 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.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
Ask for a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
Grafty Green: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Lenham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover smaller places like Grafty Green?
Yes. Grafty Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We will agree it with you first.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Why it’s worth doing now in Grafty Green
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Grafty Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
