Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, which opens gaps along the back. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Hill End
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 using the right product for each joint. We’re often asked to deal with gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and shower seals failing in the first year or two, on kitchens, plot handovers and skirting & floors.
Around Hill End, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Your questions about new build mastic in Hill End
Is Hill End in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Hill End is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Rickmansworth station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
Any seal that’s leaking should be redone right away. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
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 to plan around. In a small place like Hill End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Tidy, careful work

Landlord and commercial work in Hill End
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Landlords and agents in Hill End can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal

On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours in a single home, including the tidy-up.
