How we handle new build mastic in Strood
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks instead of bonding to the dust. If you’re dealing with plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and shower seals failing in the first year or two, we can put it right.
Shops and business units around Strood have floors that see a lot of traffic. Threshold and floor joints are best resealed before their edges start breaking away.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Strood and everywhere else we cover.

What happens if it’s left?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Gaps in sealant and mould in the bead never get better on their own, and in a busy home in Strood they get worse with every use. Replacing the sealant now is the simplest fix.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Record problems with dated pictures
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. A visit in Strood needs access to the work and a place to park close by. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
How the job changes by surface

On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
