We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames. We’ll plan around viewing times.
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in with baths filled first.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Roughway
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first and if that stalls, we can do it. We’re often asked to deal with cracks appearing as a new home settles and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, on skirting & floors, windows & doors and show homes.
Older homes in small places like Roughway often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Roughway as everywhere else we work.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours in a single home, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Roughway, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Why it’s worth doing now in Roughway
The builder is generally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. In a small place like Roughway, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Roughway
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Sealant colour chosen to suit

Do you need new build mastic in Roughway?
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
For new homes near Borough Green & Wrotham station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.

Yes, Roughway is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
How long does new build mastic take?
Typically it takes a few hours in a single home. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
