Boughton Lees New Build Mastic
New-build sealant joints in Boughton Lees need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Boughton Lees
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover with a sealant suited to each area. We work on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens, and people most often call us about messy sealant that spoils new finishes and frame joints opening as the plaster dries.
Older homes in small places like Boughton Lees often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few photos by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Broken tiles or a split tray
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Windows & doors
- Show homes
- Plot handovers
- Skirting & floors
- Kitchens
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Signs you need new build mastic in Boughton Lees
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
If you’ve bought a new home near Wye station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What insurance they hold
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
