New build mastic for homes and businesses in Tillington
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. Common call-outs are for messy sealant that spoils new finishes and new-build shower sealant that has already split, across skirting & floors, show homes and plot handovers.
Work in a small place like Tillington 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 there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.

Questions from Tillington
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Tillington?
All our work, in Tillington and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Tillington for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Tillington is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels in Tillington.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
Any seal that’s leaking should be redone right away. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
White and clear are the most common, but sealant comes in other colours too. We choose one to suit the room before we begin.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tillington
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it won’t bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In a small place like Tillington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Surface by surface
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, which opens gaps along the back. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
When to call us in Tillington
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
For jobs in and around Tillington, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
