Ballinger Common New Build Mastic

- Second-fix sealing on new plots
New build mastic in Ballinger Common, done properly
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. If you have cracks appearing as a new home settles and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Ballinger Common, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re 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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant.

Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors

- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles

Advice
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Follow the cure time we give you
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you.

What happens if it’s left?
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ballinger Common, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
