Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
New build mastic in Thurnham
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. If you are dealing with messy sealant that spoils new finishes and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Thurnham, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Questions from Thurnham
Will you come out to Thurnham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bearsted station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Thurnham?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
How long does new build mastic take?
A typical job takes a few hours in a single home. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What happens if it’s left?
If you’re still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Thurnham can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

What we’re called out for in Thurnham
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
If you’ve bought a new home near Bearsted station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the colour is chosen
What the job involves on each surface
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing and prime where the product needs it.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Thurnham, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
