New build mastic in Rushlake Green, done properly
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you have gaps behind new kitchen upstands and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, we can help, on skirting & floors, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites alike.
For a small place like Rushlake Green, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What happens if it’s left?
If you are still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it keeps failing or isn’t dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Rushlake Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a small place like Rushlake Green, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

What affects the quote in Rushlake Green
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:

- The number and length of the joints
- When we can work, for business premises

What sealant work cannot fix

When to call us in Rushlake Green
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak and it shows once the home is in use.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
In and around Rushlake Green, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How long the guarantee is

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.

Common questions in Rushlake Green
Will you come out to Rushlake Green?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Rushlake Green?
All our work, in Rushlake Green and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What colour sealant will you use?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but other colours are available. We match the colour to the finish before we begin.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to the old layer, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What does new build mastic cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
