New build mastic in Heads Hill, done properly
Across Heads Hill, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. We are often asked to deal with plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, on skirting & floors, show homes and bathrooms & en suites.
Somewhere as small as Heads Hill, 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 one-year guarantee, the same in Heads Hill as everywhere else we work.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed to keep callbacks down.
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How we quote for new build mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the property is
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.

Advice
Do you need new build mastic in Heads Hill?
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry first.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
Around Heads Hill, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Before booking anyone
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
