New build mastic in Wingham, done properly
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We work on plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors, and people most often call us about joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and internal frame sealant that has split.
In a village or hamlet like Wingham, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Why deal with it now?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal cannot. If you’re unsure which you have, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with pictures and we will tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wingham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

What we do, step by step

If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
How to prepare

Wingham questions
Will you come out to Wingham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Wingham in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Wingham is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Should I go to my builder first?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that doesn’t work out, we’re happy to quote with our one-year guarantee.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
There are generally two causes: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Wingham?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plot handovers
Send us the schedule and any sealant specification and we’ll quote. Sealant work across the plot is covered as agreed.
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Common problems we fix in Wingham
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and the sealant may split.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
If you’ve bought a new home near Adisham station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
