About our new build mastic in Bunce Common
Across Bunce Common, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you have messy sealant that spoils new finishes and second-fix sealing on new plots, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Bunce Common, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Your questions about new build mastic in Bunce Common
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Betchworth station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Bunce Common within the area you cover?
Yes, Bunce Common is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. The old sealant always comes out first.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.

Surface by surface
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one in a matching colour.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
What we are called out for in Bunce Common
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
Around Bunce Common, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether VAT is included
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing

- 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.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.
