How we quote for new build mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The amount of work
- Any mould that needs treating
- The product the joint needs
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the job is, and your postcode
If you are in Puddledock and need new build mastic, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
New build mastic in Puddledock, done properly
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first and if that stalls, we can do it. If you’re dealing with sealant work across a run of new homes and shower seals failing in the first year or two, we can help, whatever the surface.
Across London, commercial floors have movement joints that break down under heavy foot traffic, and new homes need their plot mastic finished properly before handover.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
Do you need new build mastic in Puddledock?
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
As a London address, Puddledock can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

FAQs for Puddledock
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Puddledock?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Is Puddledock in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Puddledock is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Bigger jobs take longer.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send the list and a few pictures of the sealant items. We will tell you if anything on it isn’t a sealant job.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
What new build mastic looks like in Puddledock
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.
If you’ve bought a new home near Edenbridge station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Why it’s worth doing now in Puddledock
If you are still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. In a flat in Puddledock, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
