How we handle new build mastic in Stanford Common
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. Typical jobs include joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, on show homes, skirting & floors and kitchens.
For a small place like Stanford Common, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Stanford Common
Do you work for landlords with property near Brookwood station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Stanford Common in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Stanford Common is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How long does new build mastic take?
A typical job takes a few hours in a single home. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Do you need new build mastic in Stanford Common?
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry first.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
In and around Stanford Common, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How we quote for new build mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours in a single home for a typical job.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- 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.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.

Related advice
What we cannot put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Windows & doors
- Skirting & floors
- Kitchens
- Show homes
- Plot handovers
Leave it or put it right?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Around Stanford Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Tidy, careful work
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
