DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
How we handle new build mastic in Nutley
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 sealant actually sticks rather than sitting on a layer of grit. We’re often asked to deal with messy sealant that spoils new finishes and internal frame sealant that has split, on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and show homes.
For a small place like Nutley, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Roughly how big the job is
If you’re in Nutley and need new build mastic, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere as small as Nutley, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Nutley questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Buxted station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Nutley in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Nutley is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What colour sealant will you use?
White and clear are the most common, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish and agree it with you.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
It’s common, and there are generally two reasons: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with the builder if you’re in the snagging or warranty period. Once that is done, or if they will not put it right, we’ll cut it out and reseal it.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.

Leave it or put it right?

- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
