New build mastic in Bicknor, done properly
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly. Common call-outs are for cracked sealant around new window and door frames and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, on plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors.
Around Bicknor, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Do you need new build mastic in Bicknor?
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
In and around Bicknor, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Bicknor, 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.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
More services for Bicknor
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
- How much there is to do
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bicknor
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. In a small place like Bicknor, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, 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 how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it painted or coloured to suit.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing.
