How we handle new build mastic in Cote
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you have plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can help, on windows & doors, show homes and skirting & floors alike.
For a small place like Cote, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty

New build mastic in Cote: local notes
Cote is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you’ve bought a new home near Durrington-On-Sea station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
What else we do in Cote
What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it in a colour to suit.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
When to call us in Cote
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and can tear.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
In and around Cote, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How much experience the applicator has
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether they’re fully insured
Why it’s worth doing now in Cote
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Cote, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews

How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere as small as Cote, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if parking is tricky
