East Shalford New Build Mastic
Problem with your new-build sealant joints in East Shalford? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a 12-month guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
New build mastic in East Shalford
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. We work on windows & doors, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are cracked caulk along new skirting and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall.
Around East Shalford, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Record problems with dated photos
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and the new finishes intact.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere like East Shalford needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
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.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal

Quotes for new build mastic in East Shalford
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints

What we are called out for in East Shalford
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry first.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
Around East Shalford, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How hidden problems are handled
