New build mastic in Pollhill
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. If you have plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can put it right.
Around Pollhill, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal

- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.

How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it painted or coloured to suit.
Common problems we fix in Pollhill
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and the sealant may split.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
For new homes near Harrietsham station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- The length of the guarantee
What happens if it’s left?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Around Pollhill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
