About our new build mastic in Clavering
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We are often asked to deal with internal frame sealant that has split and cracked caulk along new skirting, across skirting & floors, show homes and bathrooms & en suites.
Around Clavering, 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.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Clavering questions
Is Clavering in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Clavering is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Should I wait before resealing?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames ready for viewings. We’ll plan around viewing times.
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
Signs you need new build mastic in Clavering
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracks appear in the sealant.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
In and around Clavering, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What else we do in Clavering
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a small place like Clavering, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
