How we handle new build mastic in Barfrestone
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 gaps between new skirting and floors and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, across kitchens, skirting & floors and windows & doors.
Older homes in small places like Barfrestone often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Barfrestone and everywhere else we cover.

Surface by surface
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, which opens gaps along the back. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.

Common problems we fix in Barfrestone
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
If you’ve bought a new home near Shepherds Well station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- The length of the guarantee
- Is VAT in the price?
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is generally left for about a day before water reaches them.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Barfrestone, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
