Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one that suits the frame.
How we handle new build mastic in Hollingbourne
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. Typical jobs include sealant that never bonded to the surface and gaps between new skirting and floors, across skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers.
Around Hollingbourne, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is normally left for about a day before water reaches them.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you.

Why act early in Hollingbourne
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote to plan around. In a small place like Hollingbourne, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Hollingbourne?

Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?

Do you need new build mastic in Hollingbourne?
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracked sealant shows up.
Look out for any of the following:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
If you’ve bought a new home near Hollingbourne station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
