About our new build mastic in Bogside
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and plot handovers, and people most often call us about gaps between new skirting and floors and worktop and upstand sealant coming away.
For a place like Bogside, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

When to call us in Bogside
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and the sealant may split.
Look out for any of the following:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
In and around Bogside, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it, which can damage the surface.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours in a single home. Around Bogside, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Why it’s worth doing now in Bogside
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is generally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote for the lot. In an older home around Bogside, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
What you get with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Sealant colour chosen to suit

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
