New-build mastic & snagging in Lower Bush, Medway
Our applicators work in Lower Bush on plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is usually left for about a day before water reaches them.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
New build mastic in Lower Bush, done properly
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 sealant actually sticks instead of bonding to the dust. We work on kitchens, plot handovers and show homes, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps behind new kitchen upstands and sealant work across a run of new homes.
In a village or hamlet like Lower Bush, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Lower Bush and across Medway.

Why deal with it now?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lower Bush, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Joints and finishes in Lower Bush homes
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.
For new homes near Cuxton station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Is Lower Bush within the area you cover?

How much does new build mastic cost in Lower Bush?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
It’s common, and there are generally two reasons: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Surface by surface
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed.
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant in a matching colour.
What affects the quote in Lower Bush
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether the work is at height
- The amount of work
- When we can work, for business premises
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
