New build mastic in Lower Arncott
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. Typical jobs include shower seals failing in the first year or two and skirting joints opening in the first winter, across windows & doors, plot handovers and skirting & floors.
Work in a small place like Lower Arncott just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Signs you need new build mastic in Lower Arncott
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
Around Lower Arncott, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What happens if it’s left?
If you are still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lower Arncott, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere as small as Lower Arncott, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
