When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops

New build mastic in Sevenoaks, done properly
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Sevenoaks. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We work on windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and show homes, and the jobs we see most are beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover.
In a town like Sevenoaks, older houses sit alongside newer estates. Whether a house is brand new or a few years old, sealant and floor joints are often the first snags to show.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Your questions about new build mastic in Sevenoaks
I let a flat near Sevenoaks station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Sevenoaks for new build mastic?
Yes, Sevenoaks is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Report it to the builder first while you’re covered. If it is not resolved, we will cut it out and reseal it.

- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Sevenoaks
The builder is usually 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. Draughts from a gap round a frame, damp under a sill or water behind a bath panel all start small, and they’re far easier to fix early.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every job
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

Signs you need new build mastic in Sevenoaks
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open, and sealant that cannot keep up splits.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
If you’ve bought a new home near Sevenoaks station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
