Causeway End New Build Mastic
Our applicators work in Causeway End on plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
New build mastic in Causeway End, done properly
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. We work on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and show homes, and people most often call us about second-fix sealing on new plots and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles.
For a small place like Causeway End, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Why deal with it now?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Older cottages and farmhouses around Causeway End can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Causeway End: your questions answered
Is Causeway End in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Causeway End is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Causeway End within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.

How the job changes by surface
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.
What we are called out for in Causeway End
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry before the sealant goes on.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
Around Causeway End, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Causeway End 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.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Follow the cure time we give you
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
