New build mastic in Broomfield
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. We work on kitchens, plot handovers and windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and cracked caulk along new skirting.
Homes around Broomfield range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Do you need new build mastic in Broomfield?
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
In and around Broomfield, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including the tidy-up. In a smaller place like Broomfield, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- 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.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is generally left for about a day to cure enough for use.
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.
How the job changes by surface
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Joints are prepared properly before sealing so the sealant lasts.
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Why it’s worth doing now in Broomfield
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. In a smaller place like Broomfield, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
