New build mastic in Cutlers Green, done properly
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it.

Surface by surface
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
Work for landlords, hotels 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 work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours in a single home.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.

How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Cutlers Green?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours in a single home. We will tell you when we quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it won’t bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Older cottages and farmhouses around Cutlers Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
