New build mastic in Clatterford End, done properly
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation. If you have frame joints opening as the plaster dries and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Clatterford End, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. We use a sealant suited to kitchens, food-safe where it’s needed.
Leave it or put it right?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Around Clatterford End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is usually 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 in a busy bathroom.
