What affects the cost of new build mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether the work is at height
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How we handle new build mastic in East End
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. Common call-outs are for sealant work across a run of new homes and skirting joints opening in the first winter, on skirting & floors, show homes and bathrooms & en suites.
For a small place like East End, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What we do, step by step
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 for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like East End, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- 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.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
East End questions
Is East End in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and East End is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Is East End within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We will confirm how long when we quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What colour sealant will you use?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Broken tiles or a split tray
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

New build mastic in East End: local notes
East End is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For new homes near Lymington Pier station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
East End is about 3 miles north-east of Lymington, in Hampshire. We carry out new build mastic for homes and businesses in East End and the surrounding area, as part of our work across Hampshire.

Why act early in East End
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few photos and we’ll tell you. Around East End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

What we are called out for in East End
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
Look out for these signs:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
In and around East End, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
