New build mastic in Bentfield Green, done properly
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over. We work on plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens, and people most often call us about internal frame sealant that has split and worktop and upstand sealant coming away.
Older homes in small places like Bentfield Green often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Bentfield Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is normally left for about a day to cure enough for use.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
What we’re called out for in Bentfield Green
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly, and the problem shows up after you move in.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
In and around Bentfield Green, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
