New build mastic for homes and businesses in Hurst Wickham
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover with a sealant suited to each area. Common call-outs are for gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and gaps between new skirting and floors, across bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and show homes.
Around Hurst Wickham, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Hurst Wickham as everywhere else we work.

What happens if it’s left?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hurst Wickham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Old sealant always removed completely

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.

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.
