What affects the quote in Sewards End
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- How many areas need sealing
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is at height
Rather than a set price list, 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.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The type of property
- Roughly how big the job is
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured for the work.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Sewards End, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. A kitchen sealant goes in there.
Your questions about new build mastic in Sewards End
Do you work for landlords with property near Audley End station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Sewards End in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Sewards End is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Report it to the builder first while you’re covered. If it is not resolved, we will cut it out and reseal it.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. All the old sealant comes out before work begins.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We will go through the sealant items and agree what we’ll do.
