How we handle new build mastic in Coldharbour
Across Coldharbour, 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: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We are often asked to deal with messy sealant that spoils new finishes and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers.
Older homes in small places like Coldharbour often have timber floors that move with the seasons, 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 ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

Why deal with it now?
The builder is generally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Coldharbour, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Arbo and Everbuild products

What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
What we are called out for in Coldharbour
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops.

- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces

In and around Coldharbour, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

FAQs for Coldharbour
Do you cover Coldharbour for new build mastic?

Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
There are normally two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We will agree it with you first.
Should I wait before resealing?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
