New build mastic in Horne, done properly
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. We work on show homes, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites, and people most often call us about shower seals failing in the first year or two and gaps between new skirting and floors.
Work in a small place like Horne just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
Why it’s worth doing now in Horne
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Around Horne, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why Horne customers choose us
- We never seal over old sealant
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- We’re fully insured

Common problems we fix in Horne
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
Around Horne, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere as small as Horne, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
