New build mastic for homes and businesses in Ingrams Green
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We’re often asked to deal with messy sealant that spoils new finishes and gaps between new skirting and floors, on show homes, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites.
Older homes in small places like Ingrams Green often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. We use a sealant suited to kitchens suited to the job.
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
What we’re called out for in Ingrams Green
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Neither lasts long.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
In and around Ingrams Green, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
