New build mastic in Albury, done properly
Across Albury, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you’re dealing with leaking shower tray seals in a new home and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Albury just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

What affects the quote in Albury
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The product the joint needs
- Whether the work is at height
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property
- How we’d reach the joints
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details, and photos are welcome.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What new build mastic looks like in Albury
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you’ve bought a new home near Chilworth station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. Around Albury, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Your questions about new build mastic in Albury
Can you do new build mastic in Albury?
Yes, Albury is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Chilworth 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 any work starts.
Should I go to my builder first?
Your builder, if you are still in their snagging or warranty period. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
There are normally two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
White and clear are the most common, but other colours are available. We choose one to suit the room and agree it with you.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
What sealant work can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
