Keltybridge New Build Mastic
Our applicators work in Keltybridge on plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
About our new build mastic in Keltybridge
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We’re often asked to deal with cracked caulk along new skirting and cracks appearing as a new home settles, on windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers.
Work in a place like Keltybridge is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a place like Keltybridge, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Why deal with it now?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote for the lot. Around Keltybridge, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

What colour sealant will you use?
It depends on the joint: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We agree the colour before any work starts.

As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.

Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.

How the job changes by surface
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant in a matching colour.
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification and we’ll quote. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors to the agreed spec.
When to call us in Keltybridge
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
The most common problems we see are:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
Around Keltybridge, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
