About our new build mastic in West Studdal
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. Typical jobs include skirting joints opening in the first winter and internal frame sealant that has split, on show homes, kitchens and plot handovers.
For a small place like West Studdal, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Leave it or put it right?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Around West Studdal, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

What else we do in West Studdal
Do you need new build mastic in West Studdal?
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and can tear.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
If you’ve bought a new home near Martin Mill station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What the job involves on each surface
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed to keep callbacks down.
