New build mastic in Gawcott, done properly
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. Typical jobs include sealant work across a run of new homes and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, across show homes, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers.
Older homes in small places like Gawcott often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What affects the quote in Gawcott
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The amount of work
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the property is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

Do you need new build mastic in Gawcott?
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open, and sealant that can’t keep up splits.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
Whether the job is in Gawcott itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. In a small place like Gawcott, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Landlord and commercial work in Gawcott
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
New homes and floors in Gawcott
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Somewhere as small as Gawcott, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
