New build mastic in Stoughton
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We work on skirting & floors, plot handovers and windows & doors, and people most often call us about joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and skirting joints opening in the first winter.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Stoughton, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Stoughton and across Surrey. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Common problems we fix in Stoughton
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly, and the problem shows up after you move in.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
Around Stoughton, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
New build mastic around Stoughton
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you’ve bought a new home near Guildford station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

FAQs for Stoughton
Do you cover smaller places like Stoughton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do new build mastic in Stoughton?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Stoughton is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
What colour sealant will you use?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to the old layer, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Quotes for new build mastic in Stoughton
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any mould that needs treating
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. A visit to Stoughton is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
