New build mastic around Baulking

Whether the job is in Baulking itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

New build mastic in Baulking
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over. We work on windows & doors, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites, and people most often call us about internal frame sealant that has split and sealant work across a run of new homes.
In a village or hamlet like Baulking, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere as small as Baulking, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Related advice
What the job involves on each surface
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 in a matching colour.
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
What we are called out for in Baulking
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open, and sealant that can’t keep up splits.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
Around Baulking, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

FAQs for Baulking
Is Baulking in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Baulking is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Baulking?
Yes, Baulking is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
For anyone letting property in or around Baulking, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What happens if it’s left?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times. Older cottages and farmhouses around Baulking can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
