New build mastic across Hertfordshire: what to expect

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, because that is what rushed new-build sealant normally lacks. Typical jobs include sealant that never bonded to the surface and cracks appearing as a new home settles, on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and plot handovers.

When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots.

We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
The failed sealant is removed completely.
Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.

How we quote

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Where we work in Hertfordshire

Homes across Hertfordshire range from older properties with timber floors to new builds settling in. Skirting, threshold and floor joints open up in both, as floors move and new buildings settle.

From Victorian terraces to post-war new towns and modern estates, homes across the South East and London cover every era. Each needs the right sealant for its age and materials, wherever it is in Hertfordshire.

Watford: Around Watford, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. For new homes near Watford Junction station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

When it isn’t the sealant

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:

Cracking that points to a structural problem
Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
Damaged fittings that need replacing

Looking after it afterwards

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:

Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop

Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.

A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

Surface by surface

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.

Kitchens

Sink joints are wet all the time. We use a sealant suited to kitchens suited to the job.

DIY versus a professional finish

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

What we’re called out for in Hertfordshire

When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracks appear in the sealant.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

Skirting joints opening in the first winter
Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
Second-fix sealing on new plots
Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
