Rodmersham New Build Mastic
Professional new build mastic in and around Rodmersham, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots in most cases. Somewhere as small as Rodmersham, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

New build mastic in Rodmersham
Across Rodmersham, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. We work on skirting & floors, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites, and people most often call us about internal frame sealant that has split and second-fix sealing on new plots.
For a small place like Rodmersham, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
New build mastic in Rodmersham: local notes
Rodmersham is within about 3 miles of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In and around Rodmersham, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Rodmersham questions
Do you cover smaller places like Rodmersham?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Rodmersham for new build mastic?
Yes, Rodmersham is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme. Tell us the plots and the joints involved for a clear quote.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours in a single home. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Why deal with it now?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. In a small place like Rodmersham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Do you need new build mastic in Rodmersham?
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry before the sealant goes on.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
If you’ve bought a new home near Sittingbourne station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Questions to ask before you book
