About our new build mastic in Garston
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly. Typical jobs include kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, across bathrooms & en suites, show homes and plot handovers.
Homes around Garston range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the job changes by surface
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames to a tidy standard. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
DIY versus a professional finish
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Quotes for new build mastic in Garston
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:

- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on how much there is to do. For a job in Garston, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Do you work for landlords with property near Garston station?

Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send us the plot schedule and we will quote.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with pictures if you can and we will give you a quote. We’ll flag anything that needs another trade.
How long does new build mastic take?
Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Why act early in Garston
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot and most come down to preparation. In an older home around Garston, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
