New build mastic in Whitfield, done properly
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks instead of bonding to the dust. Typical jobs include plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, across skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors.
For a new home in or near Whitfield, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors.

New homes and floors in Whitfield
Whitfield is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Around Whitfield, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Kearsney station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Follow the cure time we give you
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
