Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Binsted can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
How we handle new build mastic in Binsted
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation. If you’re dealing with sealant that never bonded to the surface and internal frame sealant that has split, we can help, on show homes, skirting & floors and kitchens alike.
Around Binsted, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How we quote for new build mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much there is to do
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
When it is not the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.

Common questions in Binsted
Do you cover smaller places like Binsted?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Bentley (Hampshire) station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
White and clear are the most common, but other colours are available. We choose one to suit the room and agree it with you.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
That depends on the joint. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours in a single home. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send the schedule and any specification and we’ll give you a quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours in a single home in most cases. Somewhere like Binsted needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- 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.

Common problems we fix in Binsted
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
In and around Binsted, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
