What new build mastic looks like in Cliftonville
Cliftonville is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. 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.
If you’ve bought a new home near Margate station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Do you need new build mastic in Cliftonville?
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
In and around Cliftonville, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification and we will quote. Sealant work across the plot is covered.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is generally left for about a day to cure enough for use.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Questions from Cliftonville
Is Cliftonville in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Cliftonville is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Cliftonville?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
White and clear are the most common, but sealant comes in other colours too. We choose one to suit the room before we begin.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
What happens if it’s left?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few pictures and we will give you a straight answer. Homes in smaller places like Cliftonville can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours in a single home. Parking around Cliftonville is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
