Strood: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Strood?
All our work, in Strood and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Strood within the area you cover?
Yes, Strood is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
It depends on the joint: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We agree the colour before work begins.
How long does new build mastic take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Strood?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Strood
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first and if that stalls, we can do it. If you’re dealing with leaking shower tray seals in a new home and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Strood, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it in a colour to suit.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Leave it or put it right?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Around Strood, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
New build mastic around Strood
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.
Around Strood, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. Whether the job is in Strood itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Landlord and commercial work in Strood
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
Landlords and agents in Strood can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry and can be resealed later.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a small place like Strood, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- 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.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about parking restrictions
