New build mastic in Thorpe
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We work on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens, and people most often call us about gaps between new skirting and floors and frame joints opening as the plaster dries.
For a small place like Thorpe, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

Why act early in Thorpe
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot and most come down to preparation. Older cottages and farmhouses around Thorpe can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames ready for viewings. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Thorpe can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.

What else we do in Thorpe
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Questions from Thorpe
Is Thorpe within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Virginia Water station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
How long does new build mastic take?
Most jobs take a few hours in a single home, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We agree the sealant items with you before any work starts.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
New homes and floors in Thorpe

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a small place like Thorpe, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
