New build mastic in North Holmwood
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. We work on plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens, and people most often call us about worktop and upstand sealant coming away and cracked caulk along new skirting.
In and around North Holmwood, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

When to call us in North Holmwood
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
For new homes near Dorking West station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it painted or coloured to suit.
Why it’s worth doing now in North Holmwood
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. Homes in smaller places like North Holmwood can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
