About our new build mastic in Irons Bottom
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on show homes, windows & doors and kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and leaking shower tray seals in a new home.
For a small place like Irons Bottom, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Irons Bottom as everywhere else we work.

Questions from Irons Bottom
Do you cover smaller places like Irons Bottom?
Yes. Irons Bottom is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Irons Bottom for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Irons Bottom is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Skirting & floors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Show homes
- Windows & doors
- Plot handovers
- Kitchens
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Signs you need new build mastic in Irons Bottom
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open, and sealant that can’t keep up splits.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
In and around Irons Bottom, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere as small as Irons Bottom, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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 down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
