How we handle new build mastic in The Brents
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. If you have gaps between new skirting and floors and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a new home in or near The Brents, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.

Why deal with it now?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. In an older home around The Brents, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

New build mastic in The Brents: local notes
The Brents is within about 3 miles of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For new homes near Faversham station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
The Brents is about 1 mile north-east of Faversham, in Kent. Every kind of property in The Brents can book us for new build mastic, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.

What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in The Brents?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, then clean and prime the joint, before resealing.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:

- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any access issues, like height or stairs

The process
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots for a typical job. For a job in The Brents, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
