About our new build mastic in Totford
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover with a sealant suited to each area. If you have frame joints opening as the plaster dries and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Totford 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 something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
If you’ve bought a new home near Micheldever station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like Totford, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Different surfaces, different methods
Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed so the sealant lasts.
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant in a matching colour.
What affects the quote in Totford
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much there is to do
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Totford: your questions answered
Will you come out to Totford?
Yes, Totford is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Micheldever station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
It’s common, and there are generally two reasons: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can damage the surface.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Broken tiles or a split tray
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
