New build mastic in Abinger
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We work on kitchens, windows & doors and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are cracked caulk along new skirting and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging.
In a village or hamlet like Abinger, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

How we quote for new build mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The size of the job
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
Every job is quoted individually. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details.
How the visit works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a small place like Abinger, 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.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in

Abinger questions
I let a flat near Gomshall station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 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.
Can you do new build mastic in Abinger?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Abinger is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to the old layer, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long does new build mastic take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Bigger jobs take longer.

Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.

What we are called out for in Abinger
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, so the bead never bonds properly.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
For new homes near Gomshall station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
