How we handle new build mastic in Cooling
Across Cooling, 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: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you’re dealing with internal frame sealant that has split and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Cooling, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Common questions in Cooling
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Higham station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you do new build mastic in Cooling?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Cooling is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. The old sealant always comes out first.

- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Surface by surface
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Plot handovers
Send us the schedule and any sealant specification and we will quote. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors to the agreed spec.
Why it’s worth doing now in Cooling
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Around Cooling, 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 and agree the price before starting.

What new build mastic looks like in Cooling
Cooling is within about 3 miles of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Around Cooling, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Higham station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
