About our new build mastic in Howt Green
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover using the right product for each joint. We work on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and cracked caulk along new skirting.
Somewhere as small as Howt Green, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Howt Green as everywhere else we work.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Howt Green
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Landlords and agents in Howt Green can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Why act early in Howt Green
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Around Howt Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

New build mastic in Howt Green: local notes
Howt Green is within about 2 miles of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you’ve bought a new home near Kemsley station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Different surfaces, different methods

Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Joints are prepared properly before sealing so the sealant lasts.
Howt Green questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kemsley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you do new build mastic in Howt Green?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Howt Green is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
What we’re called out for in Howt Green
