New build mastic for homes and businesses in Mill Green
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference. Typical jobs include beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, on windows & doors, show homes and plot handovers.
For a small place like Mill Green, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Landlord and commercial work in Mill Green
Landlords and agents in Mill Green can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left.
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one.
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it in a colour to suit.
