New build mastic in Mountfield, done properly
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We work on show homes, windows & doors and plot handovers, and people most often call us about internal frame sealant that has split and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build.
For a small place like Mountfield, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is at height
- The product the joint needs
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.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
FAQs for Mountfield
Is Mountfield 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 help a landlord with a rental near Robertsbridge station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
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, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do you need new build mastic in Mountfield?
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
If you’ve bought a new home near Robertsbridge station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in with baths filled first.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
