Bodle Street Green New Build Mastic
New-build sealant joints in Bodle Street Green need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we handle new build mastic in Bodle Street Green
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant generally lacks. We work on bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and gaps behind new kitchen upstands.
For a small place like Bodle Street Green, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What we’re called out for in Bodle Street Green
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Neither lasts long.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
In and around Bodle Street Green, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
What new build mastic looks like in Bodle Street Green
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For jobs in and around Bodle Street Green, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like Bodle Street Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Bodle Street Green questions
Can you do new build mastic in Bodle Street Green?

Is Bodle Street Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Bodle Street Green is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send it with pictures and we’ll quote for the sealant items. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
There are normally two causes: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
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. In a small place like Bodle Street Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
