Butt's Green New Build Mastic
We cover Butt's Green for plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
When to call us in Butt's Green
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Neither lasts long.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
For new homes near Beaulieu Park station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
What your quote should include
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How long the guarantee is
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
About our new build mastic in Butt's Green
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We work on windows & doors, kitchens and skirting & floors, and common reasons people get in touch are shower seals failing in the first year or two and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks.
Around Butt's Green, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:

- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Butt's Green 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.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.

Surface by surface
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. Dust from the build is removed first and primer used where needed.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
How we quote for new build mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
What it costs 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 we start.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant.

Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. The old sealant always comes out first.
