Common questions in Milebush
Is Milebush within the area you cover?
Yes, Milebush is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Milebush in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Milebush is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope and we’ll quote.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
That depends on the joint. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
How we handle new build mastic in Milebush
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly rather than sitting on a layer of grit. If you have skirting joints opening in the first winter and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Milebush just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

What affects the quote in Milebush
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The type of property

For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours in a single home. For a village or hamlet like Milebush, the journey is planned in advance: 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 start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- 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.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
Getting a quote

Leave it or put it right?
The builder is generally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Milebush, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

What we’re called out for in Milebush
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
If you’ve bought a new home near Marden station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Before you book anyone
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What guarantee comes with the work

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Keep photos 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.
