- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.

About our new build mastic in Compton
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant usually lacks. If you have sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and sealant work across a run of new homes, we can put it right, on plot handovers, show homes and windows & doors alike.
Older homes in small places like Compton often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Do you need new build mastic in Compton?
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
Around Compton, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why act early in Compton
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times. In a small place like Compton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.

What else we do in Compton
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The amount of work
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Which sealant suits the joint
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
