New build mastic in Crockleford Heath, done properly
Across Crockleford Heath, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. We work on plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors, and common reasons people get in touch are joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and worktop and upstand sealant coming away.
In a village or hamlet like Crockleford Heath, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
If you manage several properties in or around Crockleford Heath, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
