New-build mastic & snagging in Wickhambreaux, Kent
Our applicators work in Wickhambreaux on plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
How we handle new build mastic in Wickhambreaux
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We work on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and show homes, and people most often call us about joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and frame joints opening as the plaster dries.
Around Wickhambreaux, 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.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it won’t bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In a small place like Wickhambreaux, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What new build mastic looks like in Wickhambreaux

Around Wickhambreaux, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Do you need new build mastic in Wickhambreaux?
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
If you’ve bought a new home near Bekesbourne station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is
- Who turns up on the day
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is VAT in the price?
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
