About our new build mastic in Grateley
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks instead of bonding to the dust. If you have internal frame sealant that has split and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Grateley, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Surface by surface
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. We use a sealant suited to kitchens.
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant that suits the frame.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere like Grateley needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Skirting & floors
- Kitchens
- Plot handovers
- Windows & doors
- Show homes
- Bathrooms & en suites
Leave it or put it right?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Around Grateley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left.
