Earlswood New Build Mastic
We cover Earlswood for plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Record problems with dated photos
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Earlswood
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover with a sealant suited to each area. We are often asked to deal with skirting joints opening in the first winter and cracks appearing as a new home settles, across kitchens, windows & doors and plot handovers.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Earlswood, it’s often a small development or a single plot. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Signs you need new build mastic in Earlswood
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry first.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
In and around Earlswood, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Earlswood: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Earlswood?
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 work for landlords with property near Earlswood (Surrey) station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
