How we handle new build mastic in Maple Cross
Across Maple Cross, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We’re often asked to deal with cracked sealant around new window and door frames and cracked caulk along new skirting, across kitchens, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites.
Older homes in small places like Maple Cross often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Maple Cross and across Hertfordshire.

Why deal with it now?
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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Maple Cross, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

Maple Cross: your questions answered
Do you cover Maple Cross for new build mastic?

Is Maple Cross within the area you cover?
Yes, Maple Cross is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long does new build mastic take?
Typically it takes a few hours in a single home. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Start with the builder if you’re in the snagging or warranty period. Once that’s done, or if they will not put it right, we can reseal it properly.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme. Tell us the plots and the joints involved for a clear quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Landlord and commercial work in Maple Cross
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
