New build mastic in Anthill Common
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We’re often asked to deal with smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, on skirting & floors, show homes and kitchens.
Work in a small place like Anthill Common just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Anthill Common
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Signs you need new build mastic in Anthill Common
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry before the sealant goes on.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
Around Anthill Common, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
