New build mastic in Southfleet
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. Common call-outs are for gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and second-fix sealing on new plots, across windows & doors, show homes and bathrooms & en suites.
In a village or hamlet like Southfleet, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Southfleet and everywhere else we cover.

- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Kitchens
- Plot handovers
- Show homes
- Windows & doors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Skirting & floors

When to call us in Southfleet
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and can tear.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
If you’ve bought a new home near Longfield station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Are they insured?
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether the sealant suits the joint

When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Should I wait before resealing?
Where water is getting through, do not wait. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.

What affects the quote in Southfleet
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required

How the job changes by surface
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.
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
