Questions from Catsfield
Do you work for landlords with property near Battle station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Catsfield in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Catsfield is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
What colour sealant will you use?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
New build mastic in Catsfield, done properly
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We work on windows & doors, skirting & floors and show homes, and common reasons people get in touch are smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and sealant that never bonded to the surface.
Somewhere as small as Catsfield, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a small place like Catsfield, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you.
What affects the quote in Catsfield
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before

How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there suited to the job.
