New build mastic in Cores End
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. If you have gaps behind new kitchen upstands and new-build shower sealant that has already split, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Cores End, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Signs you need new build mastic in Cores End
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry first.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
For new homes near Bourne End station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Cores End questions
Is Cores End within the area you cover?
Yes, Cores End is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bourne End station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What colour sealant will you use?
It depends on the joint: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We will agree it with you first.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Cores End, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

What affects the quote in Cores End
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.
