New build mastic in New Romney
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We work on skirting & floors, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are skirting joints opening in the first winter and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks.
In and around New Romney, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What new build mastic looks like in New Romney
New Romney is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Around New Romney, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. Whether the job is in New Romney itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
New Romney is about 8 miles south-west of Hythe, in Kent. If you need new build mastic in New Romney, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for a quick quote. We cover Kent from our Crawley base, New Romney included. Our area takes in 922 places across Kent. We also work in Brighton, about 48 miles from New Romney.

If you need new build mastic at a property on High Street, Church Road and Station Road or a nearby road, our applicators can take on the job. Being close to the A259 and B2071, New Romney is simple for us to get to for new build mastic.

Around New Romney
Around New Romney, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Romney Warren Country Park, The Marsh Academy and The Marsh Academy. A little further out are Lydd Town Museum (3 miles south-west) and Romney 'castle' (2.1 miles west). Not far away are Burnthouse Pen and Dungeness National.
What happens if it’s left?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time and most come down to preparation. In a smaller place like New Romney, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before we start.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The address or postcode of the job

Common questions in New Romney
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in New Romney?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do new build mastic in New Romney?
Yes, New Romney is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. All the old sealant comes out before work begins.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. If something isn’t sealant, we will say so.
What colour sealant will you use?
White and clear are the most common, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish.
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours in a single home, including the tidy-up. Parking around New Romney is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property
How to get a quote

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
