New build mastic in Hinxhill, done properly
Across Hinxhill, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. We work on show homes, skirting & floors and windows & doors, and people most often call us about shower seals failing in the first year or two and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles.
Work in a small place like Hinxhill just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Hinxhill and everywhere else we cover.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number and length of the joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- Access and height
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
To get a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before we start.
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hinxhill can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- Tidy, careful work
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Over 20 years’ experience

What new build mastic looks like in Hinxhill
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you’ve bought a new home near Ashford International station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it in a colour to suit.
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
Your questions about new build mastic in Hinxhill
I let a flat near Ashford International station. Can you help?

What does new build mastic cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If they’re slow or the fix does not last, we can help.
When to call us in Hinxhill
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
In and around Hinxhill, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Before you book anyone
- Are they insured?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether you can choose the colour
- When the joint can take water or movement

When it is not the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Hinxhill needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
