About our new build mastic in Freefolk
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We’re often asked to deal with cracks appearing as a new home settles and new-build shower sealant that has already split, across skirting & floors, kitchens and plot handovers.
Around Freefolk, 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Signs you need new build mastic in Freefolk
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
If you’ve bought a new home near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

FAQs for Freefolk
Do you cover smaller places like Freefolk?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do new build mastic in Freefolk?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Freefolk is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours in a single home. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
It depends on the joint: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We will agree it with you first.
Should I go to my builder first?
Start with the builder if you’re in the snagging or warranty period. Once that is done, or if they will not put it right, we will cut it out and reseal it.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
