New-build mastic & snagging in Gosmore, Hertfordshire

Why deal with it now?
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Older cottages and farmhouses around Gosmore can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

About our new build mastic in Gosmore
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We work on windows & doors, skirting & floors and show homes, and common reasons people get in touch are frame joints opening as the plaster dries and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall.
For a small place like Gosmore, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Gosmore and everywhere else we cover.

When to call us in Gosmore
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
Around Gosmore, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take a few hours in a single home, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Gosmore, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- 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
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry and can be resealed later.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Common questions in Gosmore
Can you do new build mastic in Gosmore?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Gosmore is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Gosmore?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Report it to the builder first while you’re covered. Once that is done, or if they won’t put it right, we’ll cut it out and reseal it.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
