About our new build mastic in Iden
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly. Common call-outs are for worktop and upstand sealant coming away and internal frame sealant that has split, across bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and skirting & floors.
Around Iden, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Why it’s worth doing now in Iden
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through cannot. If you are unsure which you have, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with pictures and we will give you a straight answer. In a small place like Iden, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
If you’ve bought a new home near Rye station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a small place like Iden, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
