New build mastic around Tovil

In and around Tovil, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you’ve bought a new home near Maidstone West station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

New build mastic in Tovil, done properly
Across Tovil, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. Common call-outs are for cracked caulk along new skirting and second-fix sealing on new plots, across skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Tovil, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a job in Tovil, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

- How we’d reach the joints

What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.

How long does new build mastic take?
A typical job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Landlords and agents in Tovil can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Why deal with it now?
The builder is generally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. In an older home around Tovil, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
