How we handle new build mastic in Brattle
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first and if that stalls, we can do it. If you are dealing with new-build shower sealant that has already split and cracked caulk along new skirting, we can help, on windows & doors, plot handovers and kitchens alike.
For a small place like Brattle, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
Questions from Brattle
I let a flat near Appledore (Kent) station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will you come out to Brattle?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
It’s common, and there are usually two reasons: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We work through plots to your schedule. Tell us the plots and the joints involved and we’ll quote.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
What affects the quote in Brattle
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the job
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. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The address or postcode of the job

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

Advice
Do you need new build mastic in Brattle?
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
In and around Brattle, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
