How we handle new build mastic in Finstock
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. We work on bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and messy sealant that spoils new finishes.
Around Finstock, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.

What we seal
- Skirting & floors
- Plot handovers
- Windows & doors
- Show homes
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Kitchens
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk.
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Joints are prepared properly before sealing.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
