New build mastic in Little Holbury, done properly
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We work on skirting & floors, kitchens and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are gaps behind new kitchen upstands and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging.
For a small place like Little Holbury, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Why deal with it now?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Little Holbury, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Little Holbury, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Little Holbury questions
Is Little Holbury within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do new build mastic in Little Holbury?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Little Holbury is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
How we quote for new build mastic
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
Surface by surface
Plot handovers
Send us the schedule and any sealant specification and we’ll quote. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors as agreed.
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We check and reseal the frame edges.
