Joints and finishes in Lynsted homes
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.
For new homes near Teynham station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. Around Lynsted, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Lynsted
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. If you have cracked caulk along new skirting and second-fix sealing on new plots, we can help, on plot handovers, skirting & floors and windows & doors alike.
In a village or hamlet like Lynsted, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How the job changes by surface
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

How we quote for new build mastic
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much there is to do
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The type of property
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- Roughly how big the job is
Need a quote? Please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details. You will know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots from start to finish. In a small place like Lynsted, 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.
- The failed sealant is removed completely 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
How to get a quote
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.
Advice
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Follow the cure time we give you
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant.
Common questions in Lynsted
Can you do new build mastic in Lynsted?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Lynsted is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Lynsted within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours in a single home, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What colour sealant will you use?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We will agree it with you first.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
