New build mastic in Bessels Green
Across Bessels Green, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. If you’re dealing with frame joints opening as the plaster dries and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can put it right, on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens alike.
In a village or hamlet like Bessels Green, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Leave it or put it right?
The builder is usually the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bessels Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

What the job involves on each surface

Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere like Bessels Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- 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.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
