About our new build mastic in Howe Hill
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. If you are dealing with joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and sealant work across a run of new homes, we can put it right.
For a small place like Howe Hill, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Howe Hill
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Internal frame sealant that has split
For jobs in and around Howe Hill, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

What sealant work cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder

How we quote for new build mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
If you’re in Howe Hill and need new build mastic, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Why deal with it now?
If you’re still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Older cottages and farmhouses around Howe Hill can have timber 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: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

Howe Hill: your questions answered
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Howe Hill?
All our work, in Howe Hill and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Howe Hill within the area you cover?
Yes. Howe Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Should I wait before resealing?
Any seal that is leaking should be redone right away. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere like Howe Hill needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about parking restrictions
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Record problems with dated photos
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
