Cranbourne New Build Mastic

New build mastic in Cranbourne, done properly
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. Typical jobs include plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, on windows & doors, kitchens and plot handovers.
Older homes in small places like Cranbourne often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Cranbourne?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Should I go to my builder first?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it with our 12-month guarantee.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Windows & doors
- Skirting & floors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Kitchens

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Record problems with dated photos
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small.

Signs you need new build mastic in Cranbourne
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
For new homes near Ascot station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
