About our new build mastic in Silver Hill
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Silver Hill. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. Common call-outs are for skirting joints opening in the first winter and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and plot handovers.
Around Silver Hill, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Quotes for new build mastic in Silver Hill
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Silver Hill questions
Do you cover Silver Hill for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Silver Hill is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Silver Hill?
Yes. Silver Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Should I wait before resealing?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
It depends on the joint: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We agree the colour before we start.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send it with photos and we will quote for the sealant items. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.
Signs you need new build mastic in Silver Hill
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and can tear.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
In and around Silver Hill, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
