When to call us in Ockford Ridge
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry first.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
If you’ve bought a new home near Milford (Surrey) station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Ockford Ridge
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. If you are dealing with gaps behind new kitchen upstands and sealant that never bonded to the surface, we can put it right.
Around Ockford Ridge, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Ockford Ridge needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Advice
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

Common questions in Ockford Ridge
Can you do new build mastic in Ockford Ridge?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Ockford Ridge is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Milford (Surrey) station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
How long does new build mastic take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Any seal that is leaking should be redone straight away. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
How much does new build mastic cost in Ockford Ridge?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. All the old sealant comes out before any work starts.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there, food-safe where it’s needed.
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Windows & doors
- Show homes
- Plot handovers
- Kitchens
- Skirting & floors
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
