What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours in a single home and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Dungate, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the joints

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Dungate
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. If you have beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, we can help, on kitchens, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites alike.
Somewhere as small as Dungate, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How we quote for new build mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Kitchens
- Show homes
- Plot handovers
- Skirting & floors
- Windows & doors
- Bathrooms & en suites
How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, which opens gaps along the back. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Common problems we fix in Dungate
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
Around Dungate, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
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.
