New build mastic for homes and businesses in Elvington
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover using the right product for each joint. We work on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about messy sealant that spoils new finishes and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks.
Somewhere as small as Elvington, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the quote in Elvington
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- How many areas need sealing
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- How we’d reach the joints
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the job is, and your postcode
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before we start.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

FAQs for Elvington
Do you cover smaller places like Elvington?
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.
Is Elvington in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Elvington is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with pictures if you can and we will give you a quote. We will tell you if anything on it is not a sealant job.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one that suits the frame.
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish to a tidy standard. We’ll plan around viewing times.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere as small as Elvington, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
