New build mastic in Temple End
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. Common call-outs are for frame joints opening as the plaster dries and cracks appearing as a new home settles, on windows & doors, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites.
Older homes in small places like Temple End often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

When to call us in Temple End
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, so the bead never bonds properly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
Around Temple End, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What happens if it’s left?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is usually simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote for the lot. Older cottages and farmhouses around Temple End can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Quotes for new build mastic in Temple End
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Roughly how big the job is
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can be quoted together.
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. We use a sealant suited to kitchens.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. Dust from the build is removed first and primer used where needed.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
