New build mastic for homes and businesses in Coscote
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. We work on show homes, windows & doors and plot handovers, and common reasons people get in touch are new-build shower sealant that has already split and sealant that never bonded to the surface.
Somewhere as small as Coscote, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an 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 call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What else we do in Coscote
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What affects the quote in Coscote
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much there is to do

FAQs for Coscote
Can you do new build mastic in Coscote?
Yes, Coscote is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Coscote within the area you cover?
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.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but other colours are available. We choose one to suit the room before we begin.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send the list and a few pictures of the sealant items. We will flag anything that needs another trade.
What happens if it’s left?
The builder is usually the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Coscote can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
