Bowmans questions
Is Bowmans in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Bowmans is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is Bowmans within the area you cover?
Yes. Bowmans 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.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Report it to the builder first while you’re covered. If it is not resolved, we’ll cut it out and reseal it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, and a new bead applied.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
New build mastic in Bowmans, done properly
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first and if that stalls, we can do it. If you have beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and second-fix sealing on new plots, we can put it right.
In smaller places like Bowmans, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Follow the cure time we give you
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and the new finishes intact.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it in a colour to suit.
New homes and floors in Bowmans
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
- Any mould that needs treating
- How easy the joints are to reach
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the property is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The rough size of the job

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a smaller place like Bowmans, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- 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
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Advice
Why act early in Bowmans
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but water getting through can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few pictures and we will give you a straight answer. In an older home around Bowmans, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
