About our new build mastic in Smallfield
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. We work on windows & doors, skirting & floors and plot handovers, and people most often call us about kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging.
Homes around Smallfield range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a smaller place like Smallfield, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed to keep callbacks down.
What we’re called out for in Smallfield
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
The most common problems we see are:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
For new homes near Horley station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

New build mastic in Smallfield: local notes

Quotes for new build mastic in Smallfield
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How we’d reach the joints
- A few photos by email, if you can
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Common questions in Smallfield
I let a flat near Horley station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Smallfield?
Yes, Smallfield is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Report it to the builder first while you are covered. Once that’s done, or if they won’t put it right, we can reseal it properly.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Why it’s worth doing now in Smallfield
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Around Smallfield, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
