How we handle new build mastic in Abbotswood
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We work on kitchens, skirting & floors and windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are second-fix sealing on new plots and skirting joints opening in the first winter.
Work in a small place like Abbotswood just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Is Abbotswood within the area you cover?

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.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early, because the house is drying and settling. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
Leave it or put it right?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Abbotswood can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
