New build mastic in Little Yeldham
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. Common call-outs are for untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and gaps between new skirting and floors, across show homes, skirting & floors and kitchens.
In a village or hamlet like Little Yeldham, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What we are called out for in Little Yeldham
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracks appear in the sealant.
The most common problems we see are:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
For jobs in and around Little Yeldham, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Why it’s worth doing now in Little Yeldham
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Little Yeldham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
