New build mastic in Abinger Bottom
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on plot handovers, kitchens and skirting & floors, and the jobs we see most are cracked caulk along new skirting and cracks appearing as a new home settles.
In a village or hamlet like Abinger Bottom, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Abinger Bottom and across Surrey.

Questions from Abinger Bottom
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Gomshall station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Abinger Bottom within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We agree the sealant items with you before any work starts.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours in a single home. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

What else we do in Abinger Bottom
Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
What happens if it’s left?
If you’re still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. In a small place like Abinger Bottom, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- One-year guarantee on every job
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Fully insured

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Abinger Bottom needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
