Quotes for new build mastic in Murcott
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few photos by email, if you can
For new build mastic in Murcott, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
How we handle new build mastic in Murcott
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We work on skirting & floors, kitchens and show homes, and the jobs we see most are worktop and upstand sealant coming away and cracked caulk along new skirting.
Around Murcott, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Murcott as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Murcott, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
When to call us in Murcott
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
For new homes near Islip station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What product goes in the joint
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

What new build mastic looks like in Murcott
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Common questions in Murcott
Will you come out to Murcott?
Yes, Murcott is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Islip station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send it with pictures and we’ll quote for the sealant items. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Murcott
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through cannot. If you are unsure which you have, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with pictures and we will give you a straight answer. Around Murcott, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.
