How we handle new build mastic in Longfield Hill
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We work on bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and skirting & floors, and common reasons people get in touch are worktop and upstand sealant coming away and cracked sealant around new window and door frames.
Somewhere as small as Longfield Hill, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed

Common problems we fix in Longfield Hill
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
For new homes near Meopham station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Why act early in Longfield Hill
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. In a small place like Longfield Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Do you work for landlords with property near Meopham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Longfield Hill?
Yes. Longfield Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.

Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What colour sealant will you use?
It depends on the joint: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We’ll agree it with you first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Longfield Hill.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
