How we handle new build mastic in Broad Oak
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. Common call-outs are for cracked caulk along new skirting and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, which opens gaps along the back. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
What affects the quote in Broad Oak
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The size of the job
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Common problems we fix in Broad Oak
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and the sealant may split.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
Around Broad Oak, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Record problems with dated photos
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
