The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots from start to finish. For a village or hamlet like Hinxton, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Related advice
New build mastic in Hinxton
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. If you are dealing with untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and cracked caulk along new skirting, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Hinxton, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Hinxton as everywhere else we work.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

New build mastic in Hinxton: local notes
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.
For new homes near Whittlesford Parkway station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Why act early in Hinxton
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. In a small place like Hinxton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
Do you need new build mastic in Hinxton?
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, so the bead never bonds properly.
Look out for these signs:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
Around Hinxton, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
