Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Grove Hill can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
How we handle new build mastic in Grove Hill
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation, because that is what rushed new-build sealant normally lacks. If you have gaps between new skirting and floors and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Grove Hill, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Joints are prepared properly before sealing so the sealant lasts.
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Common questions in Grove Hill
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Grove Hill?
All our work, in Grove Hill and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Grove Hill for new build mastic?
Yes, Grove Hill is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. All the old sealant comes out before any work starts.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
It depends on the joint: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We agree the colour before we start.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send the schedule and any specification and we will give you a quote.
When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal

When to call us in Grove Hill
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
Around Grove Hill, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the colour is chosen
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Why deal with it now?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times for the lot. Around Grove Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
Why us?
- We never seal over old sealant
- We agree the colour with you first
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

New homes and floors in Grove Hill
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Whether the job is in Grove Hill itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely 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.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
