New build mastic in Nettlebed
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. If you have internal frame sealant that has split and cracked caulk along new skirting, we can help, on plot handovers, show homes and bathrooms & en suites alike.
In a village or hamlet like Nettlebed, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What affects the quote in Nettlebed
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- Access and height
- The size of the job
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
- Photos by email, if that is easy
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere like Nettlebed needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Follow the cure time we give you
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
Your questions about new build mastic in Nettlebed
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Nettlebed?
All our work, in Nettlebed and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Nettlebed?
Yes. Nettlebed 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.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with pictures if you can. We’ll flag anything that needs another trade.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
