How we handle new build mastic in Hale Green
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. If you have messy sealant that spoils new finishes and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, we can put it right, on skirting & floors, show homes and bathrooms & en suites alike.
For a small place like Hale Green, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can damage the surface.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Hale Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Common problems we fix in Hale Green
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
In and around Hale Green, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
