New build mastic in Jersey Farm
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. If you have cracks appearing as a new home settles and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can put it right.
Homes around Jersey Farm range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

How the job changes by surface
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish ready for viewings. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed to keep callbacks down.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a smaller place like Jersey Farm, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Landlord and commercial work in Jersey Farm
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Why it’s worth doing now in Jersey Farm
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. In an older home around Jersey Farm, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Common problems we fix in Jersey Farm
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
In and around Jersey Farm, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
Jersey Farm questions
Will you come out to Jersey Farm?
Yes. Jersey Farm is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Jersey Farm in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Jersey Farm is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send the list and a few pictures of the sealant items and we will give you a quote. We will tell you if anything on it is not a sealant job.
Should I wait before resealing?
That depends on the joint. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone straight away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
It’s common, and there are generally two reasons: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
What colour sealant will you use?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
