How we handle new build mastic in Dyer's End
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly rather than sitting on a layer of grit. If you are dealing with frame joints opening as the plaster dries and new-build shower sealant that has already split, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like Dyer's End just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Dyer's End as everywhere else we work.

Signs you need new build mastic in Dyer's End
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry before the sealant goes on.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
Around Dyer's End, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the cure time is
- What preparation is included
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How long the guarantee is
Why it’s worth doing now in Dyer's End
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it will not bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Older cottages and farmhouses around Dyer's End can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. 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.

FAQs for Dyer's End
Is Dyer's End within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Dyer's End for new build mastic?
Yes, Dyer'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 tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
It’s common, and there are usually two reasons: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. We always remove the existing bead, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, and a new bead applied.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How long does new build mastic take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
How we quote for new build mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The amount of work
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small.
