New build mastic in Holmwood Corner
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. If you are dealing with skirting joints opening in the first winter and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, we can help, on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and plot handovers alike.
Older homes in small places like Holmwood Corner often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What happens if it’s left?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Holmwood Corner, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit usually 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.
What you get with us
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Old sealant always removed completely
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
Common problems we fix in Holmwood Corner
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly, and the problem shows up after you move in.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
In and around Holmwood Corner, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the colour is chosen
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether VAT is included
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere as small as Holmwood Corner, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Should I go to my builder first?

Should I try it myself first?

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 fails, we can still redo it.
