New build mastic in Hillesden, done properly
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over using the right product for each joint. If you have shower seals failing in the first year or two and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Hillesden, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Joints and finishes in Hillesden homes

Around Hillesden, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. Whether the job is in Hillesden itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a small place like Hillesden, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
What happens if it’s left?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hillesden can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
