How we handle new build mastic in Greensted
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over using the right product for each joint. If you are dealing with untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, we can help.
Older homes in small places like Greensted often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- The amount of work
- The product the joint needs
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
We quote each job on its own. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What we’re called out for in Greensted
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
For jobs in and around Greensted, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
