New build mastic for homes and businesses in Eastwood
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. If you’re dealing with skirting joints opening in the first winter and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, we can help, on kitchens, skirting & floors and windows & doors alike.
For a small place like Eastwood, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

What new build mastic looks like in Eastwood
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Broken tiles or a split tray
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Show homes
- Windows & doors
- Kitchens
- Skirting & floors
- Plot handovers
- Bathrooms & en suites
What we are called out for in Eastwood
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and the sealant may split.
Look out for any of the following:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
In and around Eastwood, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What the cure time is
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether VAT is included
How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Eastwood, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

What affects the quote in Eastwood
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The product the joint needs
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
- The type of property
- Roughly how big the job is
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.
Landlord and commercial work in Eastwood
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
DIY versus a professional 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, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Follow the cure time we give you
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
