About our new build mastic in Blackheath
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 using the right product for each joint. We work on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and skirting & floors, and the jobs we see most are joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging.
Older homes in small places like Blackheath often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Signs you need new build mastic in Blackheath
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
Around Blackheath, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you.

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
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.
