New build mastic in Coleman Green
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly rather than sitting on a layer of grit. We work on kitchens, windows & doors and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about cracked sealant around new window and door frames and second-fix sealing on new plots.
For a small place like Coleman Green, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

How we quote for new build mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The type of property
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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.
Coleman Green: your questions answered
I let a flat near Welwyn Garden City station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover Coleman Green for new build mastic?
Yes, Coleman Green is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Should I go to my builder first?
Your builder, if you’re still in their snagging or warranty period. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it.
How much does new build mastic cost in Coleman Green?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.

What happens if it’s left?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few pictures. Older cottages and farmhouses around Coleman Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
