New build mastic in Hillborough
Across Hillborough, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you are dealing with skirting joints opening in the first winter and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, we can help, on show homes, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites alike.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Hillborough, it’s often a small development or a single plot. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder

Do you need new build mastic in Hillborough?
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
Around Hillborough, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How the job changes by surface

We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames to a tidy standard. We’ll plan around viewing times.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing and prime where the product needs it.
Hillborough: your questions answered
Is Hillborough in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hillborough is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Hillborough?
Yes, Hillborough is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
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.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in Hillborough.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Hillborough, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.

London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
