Lanham Green New Build Mastic
New build mastic across Lanham Green and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely.
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Follow the cure time we give you
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
New build mastic in Lanham Green
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you are dealing with frame joints opening as the plaster dries and cracked caulk along new skirting, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Lanham Green, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why act early in Lanham Green
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lanham Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
