New build mastic in Romney Street
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference. If you have gaps between new skirting and floors and sealant that never bonded to the surface, we can help, on bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and plot handovers alike.
Somewhere as small as Romney Street, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Romney Street questions

Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

What else we do in Romney Street
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry.
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
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. We reseal once the old bead is fully out and baths are filled before sealing.
New build mastic in Romney Street: local notes

Signs you need new build mastic in Romney Street
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open, and sealant that can’t keep up splits.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
If you’ve bought a new home near Shoreham (Kent) station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
