Your questions about new build mastic in Navestock Heath
Will you come out to Navestock Heath?
Yes, Navestock Heath is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Yes, Navestock Heath is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you work for letting agents?

Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We will go through the sealant items and agree what we will do.
What does new build mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it 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.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Navestock Heath, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
When it is not the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Broken tiles or a split tray
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Navestock Heath
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Older cottages and farmhouses around Navestock Heath can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Record problems with dated photos
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray in the first few weeks. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you, so raise it early.
