New build mastic in Bilting, done properly
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Bilting. 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. Typical jobs include second-fix sealing on new plots and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, on plot handovers, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites.
Older homes in small places like Bilting often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours in a single home, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Bilting, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- 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.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
How to prepare

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. Dust from the build is removed first and prime where the product needs it.
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Record problems with dated photos
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
