New build mastic in Cliffe
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over using the right product for each joint. Common call-outs are for sealant that never bonded to the surface and new-build shower sealant that has already split, on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and skirting & floors.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Cliffe, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Signs you need new build mastic in Cliffe
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
In and around Cliffe, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

Why it’s worth doing now in Cliffe
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 Cliffe, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
