How we handle new build mastic in Cassington
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. If you are dealing with messy sealant that spoils new finishes and sealant that never bonded to the surface, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Cassington, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Cassington questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Hanborough station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Cassington for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Cassington is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
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 the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Cassington, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What new build mastic looks like in Cassington
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For new homes near Hanborough station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry and can be resealed later.
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.
What we’re called out for in Cassington
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
Around Cassington, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Broken tiles or a split tray
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
