How we handle new build mastic in Cheshunt
Across Cheshunt, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. If you are dealing with beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, we can put it right, on show homes, plot handovers and skirting & floors alike.
Homes around Cheshunt move a little with the seasons, and skirting and floor joints show it first. Those joints need a flexible sealant, as rigid filler soon cracks out.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Cheshunt
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
Around Cheshunt, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How we quote for new build mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job.
Joints and finishes in Cheshunt homes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

What else we do in Cheshunt
How the job changes by surface
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed so the sealant lasts.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Landlords and agents in Cheshunt can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots and we leave things clean and tidy. Parking in a town like Cheshunt is usually straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Cheshunt
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Draughts from a gap round a frame, damp under a sill or water behind a bath panel all start small, and early is when they’re cheapest and quickest to sort.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
