New build mastic in Murston: local notes
Murston is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In and around Murston, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Murston
Dust is the enemy of 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 show homes, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and gaps behind new kitchen upstands.
In and around Murston, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Signs you need new build mastic in Murston
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry.
Look out for any of the following:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
For new homes near Sittingbourne station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

What happens if it’s left?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is usually simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote to plan around. In a smaller place like Murston, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours in a single home. A visit to Murston is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

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 that we can handle for you.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
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.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
