About our new build mastic in Denton
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks rather than sitting on a layer of grit. Common call-outs are for worktop and upstand sealant coming away and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, on show homes, skirting & floors and kitchens.
For a new home in or near Denton, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on the amount of work. A visit to Denton is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- 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
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us if parking is tricky

What affects the cost of new build mastic
You will get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much there is to do
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any working-time requirements on site
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the property is
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is usually left for about a day to cure enough for use.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Why act early in Denton
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. In an older home around Denton, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Full insurance on every job
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
