About our new build mastic in Gestingthorpe
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first. If you’re dealing with plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and gaps between new skirting and floors, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Gestingthorpe, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens if it’s left?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through can’t. If you’re unsure which you have, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with photos. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Gestingthorpe, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.

How we quote for new build mastic

- Whether it has been sealed before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

What else we do in Gestingthorpe
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Gestingthorpe, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- 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.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
