How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture doesn’t sit on the sealant.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
How we handle new build mastic in Hamsey
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over with a sealant suited to each area. We work on plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about cracked caulk along new skirting and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces.
For a small place like Hamsey, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How we quote for new build mastic
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- A few photos by email, if you can
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
FAQs for Hamsey
Can you do new build mastic in Hamsey?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hamsey is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Hamsey?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Should I wait before resealing?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What sealant work can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Kitchens
- Show homes

- Windows & doors
- Skirting & floors
Do you need new build mastic in Hamsey?
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry first.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
If you’ve bought a new home near Cooksbridge station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

New build mastic around Hamsey
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.

What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours in a single home, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Hamsey, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but water getting through can’t. If you’re unsure which you have, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with pictures. Around Hamsey, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
