New build mastic in Temple Ewell, done properly
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference. Common call-outs are for leaking shower tray seals in a new home and internal frame sealant that has split, across skirting & floors, windows & doors and plot handovers.
Somewhere as small as Temple Ewell, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Temple Ewell: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Kearsney station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Temple Ewell within the area you cover?
Yes. Temple Ewell is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
It’s common, and there are usually two reasons: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours in a single home. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Record problems with dated photos
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Temple Ewell
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
For anyone letting property in or around Temple Ewell, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a small place like Temple Ewell, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- 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
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
How to get a quote
We quote each job on its own. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job.
Advice
More services for Temple Ewell
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Why act early in Temple Ewell
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is usually simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times. Older cottages and farmhouses around Temple Ewell can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Temple Ewell is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For new homes near Kearsney station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. In and around Temple Ewell, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
