About our new build mastic in Rusthall
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 work on windows & doors, plot handovers and kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and frame joints opening as the plaster dries.
For a new home in or near Rusthall, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Can you quote for more than one area?

Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. We always remove the existing bead, then clean and prime the joint, before resealing.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with photos if you can, and we will quote. We’ll flag anything that needs another trade.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.

Why act early in Rusthall
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. In an older home around Rusthall, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a job in Rusthall, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames ready for viewings. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
Signs you need new build mastic in Rusthall
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and can tear.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
If you’ve bought a new home near Tunbridge Wells station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
