About our new build mastic in Kettle Corner
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We work on kitchens, windows & doors and show homes, and people most often call us about beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and cracked caulk along new skirting.
Work in a small place like Kettle Corner just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

How we quote for new build mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
- The amount of work
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. We use a sealant suited to kitchens, food-safe where it’s needed.
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Kitchens
- Plot handovers
- Skirting & floors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Show homes
- Windows & doors
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere as small as Kettle Corner, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.

Common problems we fix in Kettle Corner
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry before the sealant goes on.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
In and around Kettle Corner, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
