Signs you need new build mastic in Temple Hill
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
In and around Temple Hill, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

About our new build mastic in Temple Hill
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. Common call-outs are for shower seals failing in the first year or two and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, across kitchens, skirting & floors and show homes.
For a new home in or near Temple Hill, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Questions from Temple Hill
I let a flat near Dartford station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you do new build mastic in Temple Hill?
Yes, Temple Hill is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Where water is getting through, do not wait. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with pictures if you can, and we will quote. We will flag anything that needs another trade.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal

How we quote for new build mastic
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
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.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the property is
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a smaller place like Temple Hill, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
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 the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Why act early in Temple Hill
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Homes in smaller places like Temple Hill can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Why us?
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
