Tickham New Build Mastic
We cover Tickham for plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
How we handle new build mastic in Tickham
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. Common call-outs are for gaps behind new kitchen upstands and second-fix sealing on new plots, on kitchens, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites.
In a village or hamlet like Tickham, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Tickham and everywhere else we cover.

Your questions about new build mastic in Tickham
Do you work for landlords with property near Teynham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Tickham?
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.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Should I go to my builder first?
Start with the builder if you’re in the snagging or warranty period. Once that is done, or if they will not put it right, we’ll cut it out and reseal it.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We will tell you when we quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Kitchens
- Skirting & floors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Plot handovers
- Windows & doors
- Show homes
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray in the first few weeks. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.
New homes and floors in Tickham
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.
If you’ve bought a new home near Teynham station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Tickham, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Why act early in Tickham
If you are 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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Tickham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Signs you need new build mastic in Tickham
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
Around Tickham, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
