About our new build mastic in Hawkenbury
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 work on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are internal frame sealant that has split and sealant work across a run of new homes.
For a new home in or near Hawkenbury, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Hawkenbury: your questions answered
Will you come out to Hawkenbury?
Yes. Hawkenbury 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.
I let a flat near Tunbridge Wells station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
How long does new build mastic take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, before resealing.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a job in Hawkenbury, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Record problems with dated photos
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.

New build mastic in Hawkenbury: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For new homes near Tunbridge Wells station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. Around Hawkenbury, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

If you are unsure which you have, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with pictures and we will give you a straight answer. In an older home around Hawkenbury, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.

What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant that suits the frame.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
