How we handle new build mastic in Furnace Wood
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference, because that is what rushed new-build sealant normally lacks. If you are dealing with kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and skirting joints opening in the first winter, we can help, on skirting & floors, show homes and bathrooms & en suites alike.
Somewhere as small as Furnace Wood, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant.
Why it’s worth doing now in Furnace Wood
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. Around Furnace Wood, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near East Grinstead station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
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 much does new build mastic cost in Furnace Wood?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Should I wait before resealing?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
