DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Cade Street
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first and if that stalls, we can do it. If you’re dealing with cracks appearing as a new home settles and shower seals failing in the first year or two, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Cade Street, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

FAQs for Cade Street
Is Cade Street within the area you cover?
Yes, Cade Street is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Cade Street in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Cade Street is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
How long does new build mastic take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Bigger jobs take longer.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
It depends on whether water is getting through. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone straight away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
It depends on the joint: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We agree the colour before any work starts.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. The old sealant always comes out first.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
How we quote for new build mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
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 the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

- The rough size of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now

Signs you need new build mastic in Cade Street
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracks appear in the sealant.
Look out for these signs:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
Whether the job is in Cade Street itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Plot handovers
Send us the schedule and any sealant specification. Sealant work across the plot is covered as agreed.
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Why act early in Cade Street
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times to plan around. Around Cade Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.
