- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
FAQs for Slindon Common
Is Slindon Common in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Slindon Common is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Slindon Common?
Yes. Slindon Common 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.
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.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. All the old sealant comes out before work begins.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Broken tiles or a split tray
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Skirting & floors
- Kitchens
- Show homes
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Plot handovers
- Windows & doors
What affects the cost of new build mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
- Any mould that needs treating
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The address or postcode of the job
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We’ll give you a clear quote before any work starts.
Common problems we fix in Slindon Common
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry first.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
If you’ve bought a new home near Barnham station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
What to look for in a quote
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Landlord and commercial work in Slindon Common

Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Why act early in Slindon Common
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is usually simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times. In a small place like Slindon Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
