How we handle new build mastic in Bell's Corner
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Bell's Corner. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you are dealing with cracks appearing as a new home settles and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can help, on plot handovers, skirting & floors and kitchens alike.
In a village or hamlet like Bell's Corner, 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.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Bell's Corner as everywhere else we work.

When to call us in Bell's Corner
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
Whether the job is in Bell's Corner itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
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.

Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bell's Corner
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it won’t bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In a small place like Bell's Corner, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

On the day, there’s very little for you to do. 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 Bell's Corner, 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.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.

How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, which opens gaps along the back. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
