About our new build mastic in Tuesley
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. If you’re dealing with smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can help.
Around Tuesley, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
New build mastic in Tuesley: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For new homes near Milford (Surrey) station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours in a single home in most cases. Somewhere as small as Tuesley, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
When to call us in Tuesley
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
Around Tuesley, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
What happens if it’s left?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. In a small place like Tuesley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Your questions about new build mastic in Tuesley
Is Tuesley within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Milford (Surrey) station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. All the old sealant comes out before any work starts.
What colour sealant will you use?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common as timber and plaster dry out. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If it is not sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
