New build mastic in Cogges, 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 sealant actually sticks rather than sitting on a layer of grit. We work on plot handovers, show homes and windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and gaps between new skirting and floors.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Cogges, it’s often a small development or a single plot. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

New homes and floors in Cogges
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Around Cogges, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Finstock station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a job in Cogges, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Questions from Cogges
Do you work for landlords with property near Finstock station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Cogges?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We’ll go through the sealant items and agree what we will do.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
How we quote for new build mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
- The old material and how stubborn it is
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the property is
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it will not bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Around Cogges, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
