About our new build mastic in Bullsmoor
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. We work on windows & doors, kitchens and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and sealant work across a run of new homes.
In and around Bullsmoor, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a job in Bullsmoor, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Do you use white or clear sealant?
It depends on the joint: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We agree the colour before we start.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If it is not sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How long does new build mastic take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours in a single home. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Quotes for new build mastic in Bullsmoor
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The type of sealant required
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
- Where the job is, and your postcode
If you are in Bullsmoor and need new build mastic, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
