New build mastic in Ham
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We work on kitchens, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are frame joints opening as the plaster dries and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover.
Somewhere as small as Ham, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
If you’re still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it keeps failing or isn’t dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Why book with us

Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames ready for viewings. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
