How we handle new build mastic in Rushenden
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. If you have cracked caulk along new skirting and sealant that never bonded to the surface, we can help.
Work in a small place like Rushenden just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What new build mastic looks like in Rushenden
Rushenden is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you’ve bought a new home near Queenborough station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What happens if it’s left?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through can’t. If you are unsure which you have, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with photos. Around Rushenden, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Do you need new build mastic in Rushenden?
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
In and around Rushenden, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Record problems with dated photos
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is normally left for about a day to cure enough for use.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere as small as Rushenden, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
