About our new build mastic in Watton at Stone
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. Common call-outs are for messy sealant that spoils new finishes and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, on kitchens, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites.
For a small place like Watton at Stone, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Common questions in Watton at Stone
Is Watton at Stone in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Watton at Stone is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Watton-At-Stone station?

What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Watton at Stone
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote for the lot. Older cottages and farmhouses around Watton at Stone can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- Old sealant always removed completely
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
When to call us in Watton at Stone
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.

- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
If you’ve bought a new home near Watton-At-Stone station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
What your quote should include
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How much experience the applicator has

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
