About our new build mastic in Eastwick
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. Typical jobs include sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, across plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors.
For a small place like Eastwick, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What we can’t put right

What affects the cost of new build mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it, which can damage the surface.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
Why it’s worth doing now in Eastwick
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Eastwick, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Your questions about new build mastic in Eastwick
Do you cover Eastwick for new build mastic?

Should I wait before resealing?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
How much does new build mastic cost in Eastwick?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
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.
