New build mastic for homes and businesses in Breach
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks. We work on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and plot handovers, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks appearing as a new home settles and messy sealant that spoils new finishes.
Work in a small place like Breach just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Breach: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Snowdown station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Breach?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We’ll go through the sealant items and agree what we will do.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere like Breach needs a little journey planning: 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.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
When to call us in Breach
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracks appear in the sealant.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
In and around Breach, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why it’s worth doing now in Breach
The builder is generally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. In a small place like Breach, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: 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 go through it with you.
