New build mastic in Sutton, done properly
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. We work on kitchens, windows & doors and show homes, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks appearing as a new home settles and sealant work across a run of new homes.
Older homes in small places like Sutton often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If someone has resealed it before
- The address or postcode of the job
- The rough size of the job
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details and send pictures if you have them.

Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors to the agreed spec.
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it, which can damage the surface.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and the new finishes intact.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself usually takes a few hours in a single home, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere like Sutton needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
