Telham: your questions answered
Do you cover Telham for new build mastic?
Yes, Telham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. 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.
Will you come out to Telham?
Yes, Telham is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How long does new build mastic take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
How we handle new build mastic in Telham
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We work on windows & doors, show homes and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are cracked sealant around new window and door frames and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles.
Work in a small place like Telham just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Quotes for new build mastic in Telham
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How many areas need sealing
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before
Every job is quoted individually. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Why act early in Telham
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few pictures. Older cottages and farmhouses around Telham can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
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.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere like Telham needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
