New Hythe New Build Mastic
Our applicators work in New Hythe on plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Record problems with dated photos
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
New build mastic in New Hythe
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference, because that is what rushed new-build sealant generally lacks. We are often asked to deal with gaps between new skirting and floors and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, on windows & doors, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites.
In a village or hamlet like New Hythe, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Hythe
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.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.

Why act early in New Hythe
The builder is normally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or isn’t dealt with, we can reseal it properly. In a small place like New Hythe, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- We never seal over old sealant
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Somewhere as small as New Hythe, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any tricky access
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

How the job changes by surface
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. Dust from the build is removed first and primer used where needed.
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.
What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from New Hythe
Can you help a landlord with a rental near New Hythe station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover New Hythe for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and New Hythe is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope for a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours in a single home. We will tell you when we quote.
Should I wait before resealing?
Where water is getting through, do not wait. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
