Your questions about new build mastic in Ulcombe
I let a flat near Harrietsham station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Ulcombe?
Yes, Ulcombe is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, and a new bead applied.
About our new build mastic in Ulcombe
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. Common call-outs are for gaps between new skirting and floors and cracks appearing as a new home settles, across windows & doors, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites.
Around Ulcombe, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere as small as Ulcombe, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

What affects the quote in Ulcombe

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Record problems with dated photos
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can damage the surface.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Do you need new build mastic in Ulcombe?
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
Look out for any of the following:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
Around Ulcombe, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ulcombe
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it won’t bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ulcombe 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 will explain the quote if you ask.
