New build mastic for homes and businesses in Boughton Malherbe
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. Common call-outs are for messy sealant that spoils new finishes and sealant work across a run of new homes, across kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors.
Older homes in small places like Boughton Malherbe often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing and primer used where needed.
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it painted or coloured to suit.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
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 that we can handle for you.
What new build mastic looks like in Boughton Malherbe
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

Why act early in Boughton Malherbe
The builder is generally 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. Around Boughton Malherbe, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
