Common questions in Puddledock
Is Puddledock within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Puddledock in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Puddledock is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
How much does new build mastic cost in Puddledock?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
About our new build mastic in Puddledock
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation, because that is what rushed new-build sealant normally lacks. Common call-outs are for joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and new-build shower sealant that has already split, on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers.
Work in a small place like Puddledock just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
Why deal with it now?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Puddledock, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Colour picked to suit the job

What affects the quote in Puddledock
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We will give you a clear quote before any work starts.
Surface by surface
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Somewhere as small as Puddledock, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
