If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

FAQs for Abbess Roding
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Abbess Roding?
All our work, in Abbess Roding and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Abbess Roding in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Abbess Roding is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Quotes for new build mastic in Abbess Roding
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Working hours on commercial sites

Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the property is

Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job.
Do you need new build mastic in Abbess Roding?
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
Around Abbess Roding, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Surface by surface
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Record problems with dated pictures
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Abbess Roding, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
