Wichling New Build Mastic
We cover Wichling for plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
How we handle new build mastic in Wichling
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. If you have skirting joints opening in the first winter and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Wichling, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How we quote for new build mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What else we do in Wichling
What we’re called out for in Wichling
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
Around Wichling, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Your questions about new build mastic in Wichling
Is Wichling in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Wichling is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Wichling?
Yes. Wichling is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What colour sealant will you use?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We’ll tell you when we quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours in a single home, depending on the size of the job.
