Do you need new build mastic in Bedlar's Green?
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.

- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
In and around Bedlar's Green, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Bedlar's Green
Across Bedlar's Green, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. Common call-outs are for gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and gaps between new skirting and floors, across show homes, skirting & floors and windows & doors.
Somewhere as small as Bedlar's Green, 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.

How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a small place like Bedlar's Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Bedlar's Green questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bishops Stortford station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Bedlar's Green for new build mastic?

Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What colour sealant will you use?
White and clear are the most common, but other colours are available. We match the colour to the finish and agree it with you.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where. If we need more, we will ask.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Letting agents and landlords in Bedlar's Green can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant in a matching colour.
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
