What new build mastic looks like in Tonge
Tonge is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Around Tonge, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

New build mastic in Tonge, done properly
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. We’re often asked to deal with internal frame sealant that has split and shower seals failing in the first year or two, across skirting & floors, windows & doors and kitchens.
Work in a small place like Tonge just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, 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.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors

Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Tonge needs a little journey planning: 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.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
What we are called out for in Tonge
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
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.
