DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
About our new build mastic in Arreton
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. Typical jobs include sealant that never bonded to the surface and skirting joints opening in the first winter, on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens.
Somewhere as small as Arreton, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

FAQs for Arreton
Can you do new build mastic in Arreton?

Do you cover smaller places like Arreton?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.

Quotes for new build mastic in Arreton
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The number of rooms or windows
- When we can work, for business premises
- Any mould that needs treating
- Which sealant suits the joint
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours in a single home, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Arreton, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Move anything stored near the joints

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is usually left for about a day before water reaches them.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
If you manage several properties in or around Arreton, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
