New Build Mastic in Astrope
New-build sealant joints in Astrope need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
How we handle new build mastic in Astrope
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. Typical jobs include sealant work across a run of new homes and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, on plot handovers, skirting & floors and show homes.
Somewhere as small as Astrope, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Astrope, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.

Should I try it myself first?
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’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
