Fulbrook New Build Mastic
New-build sealant joints in Fulbrook need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.

- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
New build mastic in Fulbrook, done properly
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and show homes, and the jobs we see most are gaps behind new kitchen upstands and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces.
Somewhere as small as Fulbrook, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Fulbrook and everywhere else we cover.

Common problems we fix in Fulbrook
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly and it shows once the home is in use.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
Around Fulbrook, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What else we do in Fulbrook
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
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.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you, so raise it early.
Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
Plot handovers
Send us the schedule and any sealant specification. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors to the agreed spec.
Fulbrook: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Fulbrook?
Yes. Fulbrook is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Fulbrook in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Fulbrook is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
How much does new build mastic cost in Fulbrook?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Quotes for new build mastic in Fulbrook
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
For new build mastic in Fulbrook, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Why it’s worth doing now in Fulbrook
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Older cottages and farmhouses around Fulbrook can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
