Why it’s worth doing now in Swalecliffe
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times. In an older home around Swalecliffe, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why Swalecliffe customers choose us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Old sealant always removed completely
- We agree the colour with you first

What new build mastic looks like in Swalecliffe
Swalecliffe is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Around Swalecliffe, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. For new homes near Chestfield & Swalecliffe station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Surface by surface
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. We use a sealant suited to kitchens suited to the job.
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Swalecliffe questions
Can you do new build mastic in Swalecliffe?
Yes, Swalecliffe is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Swalecliffe?
Yes. Swalecliffe is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We agree the sealant items with you before any work starts.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Your builder, if you are still in their snagging or warranty period. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left.
How we quote for new build mastic
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:

- How easy the joints are to reach

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a job in Swalecliffe, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
