Your questions about new build mastic in Steventon End
Do you cover Steventon End for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Steventon End is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Steventon End within the area you cover?
Yes. Steventon End 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 much does new build mastic cost in Steventon End?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.

Why act early in Steventon End
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. Around Steventon End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
