How the job changes by surface
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Joints are prepared properly before sealing to keep callbacks down.
About our new build mastic in Midanbury
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over using the right product for each joint. Common call-outs are for gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and new-build shower sealant that has already split, on skirting & floors, kitchens and windows & doors.
Homes around Midanbury range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours in a single home in most cases. In a smaller place like Midanbury, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Midanbury: your questions answered
Is Midanbury in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Midanbury is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Midanbury?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early, because the house is drying and settling. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If it isn’t sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Joints and finishes in Midanbury homes
Midanbury is within about 3 miles of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For new homes near Bitterne station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
