New Build Mastic in Surrex
Problem with your new-build sealant joints in Surrex? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a small place like Surrex, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
About our new build mastic in Surrex
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. Common call-outs are for sealant that never bonded to the surface and second-fix sealing on new plots, on plot handovers, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites.
In a village or hamlet like Surrex, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it in a colour to suit.
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Broken tiles or a split tray
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal

What affects the quote in Surrex
You will get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Access and height
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- Roughly how big the job is
- A few photos by email, if you can
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
What we’re called out for in Surrex
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, so the bead never bonds properly.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
In and around Surrex, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What happens if it’s left?
The builder is usually the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or isn’t dealt with, we can reseal it properly. In a small place like Surrex, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
