About our new build mastic in Little Maplestead
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 plot handovers, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are new-build shower sealant that has already split and messy sealant that spoils new finishes.
Somewhere as small as Little Maplestead, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Common problems we fix in Little Maplestead
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
In and around Little Maplestead, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How long the guarantee is
- How hidden problems are handled
- How much experience the applicator has
What happens if it’s left?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Little Maplestead can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How we quote for new build mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
