New build mastic in Hertingfordbury
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over. We work on plot handovers, windows & doors and show homes, and people most often call us about leaking shower tray seals in a new home and skirting joints opening in the first winter.
Around Hertingfordbury, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Around Hertingfordbury, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
Joints and finishes in Hertingfordbury homes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Around Hertingfordbury, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Hertford North station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
