Do you need new build mastic in Fickleshole?
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
Around Fickleshole, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether VAT is included
- What product goes in the joint
New build mastic in Fickleshole
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. If you are dealing with messy sealant that spoils new finishes and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Fickleshole, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Fickleshole and everywhere else we cover.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Fickleshole
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal cannot. If you are unsure which you have, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with pictures. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Fickleshole, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you, so raise it early.
When it is not the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
