About our new build mastic in Coleshill
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant generally lacks. We’re often asked to deal with skirting joints opening in the first winter and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, on show homes, windows & doors and kitchens.
Somewhere as small as Coleshill, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots for a typical job. In a small place like Coleshill, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

FAQs for Coleshill
Do you cover smaller places like Coleshill?

Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send us the plot schedule and we’ll quote.
How much does new build mastic cost in Coleshill?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
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. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one in a matching colour.

Leave it or put it right?
If you are still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Coleshill can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

When to call us in Coleshill
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
The most common problems we see are:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
Around Coleshill, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How much experience the applicator has
- What product goes in the joint
- What guarantee comes with the work
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Record problems with dated photos
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it, which can damage the surface.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
What new build mastic looks like in Coleshill

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
