What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed so the sealant lasts.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
New build mastic in Loose
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. If you have messy sealant that spoils new finishes and skirting joints opening in the first winter, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Loose, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How we quote for new build mastic
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Roughly how big the job is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Common questions in Loose
I let a flat near East Farleigh station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Loose?
Yes. Loose is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, then clean and prime the joint, before resealing.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
It’s common, and there are generally two reasons: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
How much does new build mastic cost in Loose?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Broken tiles or a split tray
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal

- Windows & doors

What else we do in Loose
Why deal with it now?
If you are 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. In a small place like Loose, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots from start to finish. For a village or hamlet like Loose, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
How to get a quote
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
