New build mastic for homes and businesses in South Godstone
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation. Typical jobs include frame joints opening as the plaster dries and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, across show homes, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors.
Work in a small place like South Godstone just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots from start to finish. For a village or hamlet like South Godstone, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear the area around the work

FAQs for South Godstone
I let a flat near Godstone station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is South Godstone in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, South Godstone is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
What we’re called out for in South Godstone
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracks appear in the sealant.
The most common problems we see are:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Internal frame sealant that has split
If you’ve bought a new home near Godstone station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
