About our new build mastic in Netherton
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks rather than sitting on a layer of grit. Typical jobs include cracks appearing as a new home settles and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, on show homes, windows & doors and plot handovers.
Older homes in small places like Netherton often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

Netherton: your questions answered
Is new build mastic in Netherton guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Netherton within the area you cover?
Yes. Netherton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Start with the builder if you’re in the snagging or warranty period. If it is not resolved, we’ll cut it out and reseal it.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. We always remove the existing bead, then clean and prime the joint, and a new bead applied.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What we are called out for in Netherton
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry before the sealant goes on.
Look out for these signs:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
For jobs in and around Netherton, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

New homes and floors in Netherton
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. In a small place like Netherton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can damage the surface.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
