How we handle new build mastic in Bobbing
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. Common call-outs are for gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, across bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and plot handovers.
Work in a small place like Bobbing just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Bobbing, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bobbing
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Bobbing questions
Will you come out to Bobbing?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do new build mastic in Bobbing?
Yes, Bobbing is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send it with photos and we’ll quote for the sealant items. If something is not sealant, we’ll say so.
Do you need new build mastic in Bobbing?
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
If you’ve bought a new home near Newington station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bobbing
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is usually simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote to plan around. Around Bobbing, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why book with us
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Tidy, careful work
What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Joints and finishes in Bobbing homes
Bobbing is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Around Bobbing, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
