About our new build mastic in Hockley
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over using the right product for each joint. Typical jobs include sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, across skirting & floors, windows & doors and plot handovers.
In and around Hockley, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, each moving in its own way. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors.
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish to a tidy standard. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
How we quote for new build mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will give you a clear quote before any work starts.
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 an older home around Hockley, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Hockley questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Hockley station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover Hockley for new build mastic?
Yes, Hockley is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Should I wait before resealing?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a job in Hockley, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
