How we handle new build mastic in Buttsole
Across Buttsole, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. If you have shower seals failing in the first year or two and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, we can put it right, on skirting & floors, kitchens and show homes alike.
For a small place like Buttsole, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere like Buttsole needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Your questions about new build mastic in Buttsole
Is Buttsole within the area you cover?
Yes, Buttsole is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Sandwich station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope and we will quote.
How long does new build mastic take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If they’re slow or the fix doesn’t last, we can help.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Buttsole?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Why act early in Buttsole
The builder is generally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or isn’t dealt with, we can reseal it properly. In a small place like Buttsole, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Arbo and Everbuild products

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
How the job changes by surface
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames ready for viewings. We’ll plan around viewing times.
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.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
- The product the joint needs
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
When to call us in Buttsole
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and can tear.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
In and around Buttsole, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What the cure time is
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Record problems with dated photos
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
