Need new build mastic in Bowsey Hill?

DIY sealant or a professional job?

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

About our new build mastic in Bowsey Hill

A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. If you are dealing with smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, we can put it right.

Around Bowsey Hill, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.

You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bowsey Hill

Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bowsey Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Why us?

  • Every job guaranteed for a year
  • Old sealant always removed completely
  • 180+ five-star Google reviews
  • Neat joints and a tidy finish

What colour sealant will you use?

The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.

Is it worth trying it myself?

It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.

Will there be a smell?

That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.

Do you work for developers?

Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme, room by room. Tell us the plots and the joints involved for a clear quote.

What we do, step by step

On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours in a single home, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Bowsey Hill needs a little journey planning: 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.

  1. Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
  3. Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
  4. New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
  5. The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
  • Move anything stored near the joints

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.

Surface by surface

Show homes

Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.

Windows and doors

A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.

Keeping the joints in good condition

No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:

  • Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
  • Wipe joints with warm soapy water
  • Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
  • Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period

Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.

A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
