New build mastic in Swanscombe, done properly
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you are dealing with gaps behind new kitchen upstands and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can put it right, on kitchens, skirting & floors and show homes alike.
In smaller places like Swanscombe, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a smaller place like Swanscombe, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- 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’re given the cure time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

What else we do in Swanscombe
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. 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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together.
What the job involves on each surface
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it.
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
- How many areas need sealing
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
