About our new build mastic in Minsted
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first. If you have cracks appearing as a new home settles and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, we can put it right.
Older homes in small places like Minsted often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Minsted as everywhere else we work.

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours in a single home in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Minsted, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Minsted: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Minsted?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is new build mastic in Minsted guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
There are usually two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
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.
Letting agents and landlords in Minsted can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Why it’s worth doing now in Minsted
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote for the lot. In a small place like Minsted, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Whether the job is in Minsted itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. In and around Minsted, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Windows & doors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Kitchens
- Plot handovers
- Skirting & floors
- Show homes
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
