New build mastic in Penenden Heath, done properly
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. If you are dealing with messy sealant that spoils new finishes and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, we can help.
In and around Penenden Heath, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Broken tiles or a split tray
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

Advice
What we’re called out for in Penenden Heath
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
If you’ve bought a new home near Maidstone East station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
