Why deal with it now?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Daw's End, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray in the first few weeks. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
Surface by surface
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Joints are prepared properly before sealing so the sealant lasts.
Daw's End questions
Will you come out to Daw's End?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Daw's End in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Daw's End is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send the schedule and any specification and we will give you a quote.
What sealant do you use?

We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Daw's End, along with the rest of our area.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job, and photos are welcome.

What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours in a single home, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Daw's End, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
Getting a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Advice
When to call us in Daw's End
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry before the sealant goes on.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
For jobs in and around Daw's End, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
