New build mastic in Criddlestyle, done properly
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. In both, preparation makes the difference since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. Common call-outs are for gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and new-build shower sealant that has already split, on skirting & floors, plot handovers and kitchens.
Somewhere as small as Criddlestyle, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

New build mastic around Criddlestyle
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Around Criddlestyle, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. For jobs in and around Criddlestyle, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Criddlestyle needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. Older cottages and farmhouses around Criddlestyle can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
