New build mastic in Halnaker, done properly
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. If you have internal frame sealant that has split and new-build shower sealant that has already split, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Halnaker, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Halnaker as everywhere else we work.

Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it won’t bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. In a small place like Halnaker, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
How we quote for new build mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Access and height
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Need a quote? Please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
How the job changes by surface
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, 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.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Halnaker, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are 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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
