New build mastic in Hawley, done properly
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. If you’re dealing with frame joints opening as the plaster dries and new-build shower sealant that has already split, we can put it right, on kitchens, plot handovers and skirting & floors alike.
In a village or hamlet like Hawley, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Common questions in Hawley
Can you do new build mastic in Hawley?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Hawley is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Hawley within the area you cover?
Yes. Hawley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that does not work out, we’re happy to quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
It depends on the joint: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We agree the colour before we start.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hawley
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few photos and we will give you a straight answer. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hawley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
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 we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours in a single home, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Hawley, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in with baths filled first.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Hawley and across Kent. We can quote a run of properties together.
Joints and finishes in Hawley homes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
In and around Hawley, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
