New build mastic in Kemsley Street
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you are dealing with internal frame sealant that has split and gaps between new skirting and floors, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Kemsley Street, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.

When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Windows & doors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Plot handovers
- Show homes
- Kitchens
- Skirting & floors
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant that suits the frame.
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in with baths filled first.

What affects the quote in Kemsley Street
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours in a single home, depending on the amount of work. In a small place like Kemsley Street, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit

Advice
New homes and floors in Kemsley Street
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.

Do you need new build mastic in Kemsley Street?
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
In and around Kemsley Street, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What to look for in a quote
- What the cure time is
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Are they insured?
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Common questions in Kemsley Street
Do you work for landlords with property near Rainham (Kent) station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Kemsley Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Should I go to my builder first?
Report it to the builder first while you’re covered. If it is not resolved, we can reseal it properly.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kemsley Street
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Kemsley Street can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
