New Build Mastic in Hawkinge
New build mastic across Hawkinge and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
New build mastic in Hawkinge, done properly
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We work on plot handovers, skirting & floors and kitchens, and people most often call us about cracked sealant around new window and door frames and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list.
In smaller places like Hawkinge, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Why act early in Hawkinge
The builder is generally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Homes in smaller places like Hawkinge can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

What new build mastic looks like in Hawkinge
Hawkinge is within about 3 miles of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For new homes near Folkestone West station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. In and around Hawkinge, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Hawkinge is about 2 miles north of Folkestone, in Kent. Jobs in Hawkinge get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee.

- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty

How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. We reseal once the old bead is fully out and baths are filled before sealing.
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots in most cases. In a smaller place like Hawkinge, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What affects the quote in Hawkinge
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The type of property
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
We quote each job on its own. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
