New build mastic for homes and businesses in Nalderswood
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. Common call-outs are for sealant that never bonded to the surface and gaps between new skirting and floors, on windows & doors, plot handovers and kitchens.
Around Nalderswood, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Nalderswood, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The type of property
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details, and photos are welcome.
How the job changes by surface
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one that suits the frame.
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
What happens if it’s left?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times to plan around. Around Nalderswood, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- We never seal over old sealant
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
