About our new build mastic in Robertsbridge
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We are often asked to deal with shower seals failing in the first year or two and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, on plot handovers, windows & doors and kitchens.
Older homes in small places like Robertsbridge often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.

Do you need new build mastic in Robertsbridge?
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
Around Robertsbridge, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is usually left for about a day before water reaches them.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it painted or coloured to suit.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots.

- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.

- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
