DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Manston
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. If you have leaking shower tray seals in a new home and sealant work across a run of new homes, we can put it right, on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and show homes alike.
For a small place like Manston, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

I let a flat near Thanet Parkway station. Can you help?

Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with the builder if you are in the snagging or warranty period. Once that’s done, or if they won’t put it right, we can reseal it properly.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
What new build mastic looks like in Manston
Manston is within about 2 miles of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For new homes near Thanet Parkway station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. Around Manston, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
