About our new build mastic in Ipsden
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks rather than sitting on a layer of grit. If you have new-build shower sealant that has already split and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, we can put it right, on kitchens, plot handovers and skirting & floors alike.
In a village or hamlet like Ipsden, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ipsden
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through can’t. If you are unsure which you have, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with photos and we will give you a straight answer. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ipsden can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.

Ipsden: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Ipsden?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Ipsden in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Ipsden is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If they’re slow or the fix does not last, we can help.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send us the plot schedule and we will quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Follow the cure time we give you
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it, which can damage the surface.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and the new finishes intact.
Do you need new build mastic in Ipsden?
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
Around Ipsden, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
