After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Green End, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.

Advice
About our new build mastic in Green End
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. Typical jobs include messy sealant that spoils new finishes and cracks appearing as a new home settles, across show homes, plot handovers and windows & doors.
For a small place like Green End, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

How the job changes by surface
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing and primer used where needed.
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
What we are called out for in Green End
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry first.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
Around Green End, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Skirting & floors
- Kitchens
- Plot handovers
- Windows & doors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Show homes
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

What happens if it’s left?

You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few pictures and we will give you a straight answer. Around Green End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers so moisture doesn’t sit on the sealant.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
New build mastic in Green End: local notes
