There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Bloodden, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.

New build mastic in Bloodden, done properly
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over using the right product for each joint. If you have internal frame sealant that has split and skirting joints opening in the first winter, we can help.
Work in a small place like Bloodden just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Why deal with it now?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote to plan around. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bloodden can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
When to call us in Bloodden
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
Around Bloodden, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

New homes and floors in Bloodden
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you’ve bought a new home near Adisham station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

FAQs for Bloodden
Do you cover Bloodden for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Bloodden is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Bloodden?
Yes. Bloodden is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If it is not sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
