About our new build mastic in Out Elmstead
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. If you’re dealing with gaps behind new kitchen upstands and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can put it right, on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors alike.
For a small place like Out Elmstead, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How we quote for new build mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Access and height
- The type of sealant required
- Any mould that needs treating
- The size of the job
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Roughly how big the job is
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
New homes and floors in Out Elmstead
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

How the job changes by surface
Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Joints are prepared properly before sealing.
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. We use a sealant suited to kitchens, food-safe where it’s needed.
Leave it or put it right?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Out Elmstead, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
