New build mastic in Hickmans Green, done properly
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation. We work on show homes, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are internal frame sealant that has split and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging.
Around Hickmans 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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Hickmans Green and across Kent.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Hickmans Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.

Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Why deal with it now?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through cannot. If you are unsure which you have, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with photos and we will give you a straight answer. Around Hickmans Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
