New build mastic in New Zealand
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. If you have kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can help, on skirting & floors, plot handovers and windows & doors alike.
In a village or hamlet like New Zealand, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in New Zealand and across Buckinghamshire.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere like New Zealand needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

New Zealand: your questions answered
Do you cover New Zealand for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and New Zealand is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Aylesbury station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How the job changes by surface
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in with baths filled first.
Common problems we fix in New Zealand
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
In and around New Zealand, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Before you book anyone
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small.
What affects the quote in New Zealand
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around New Zealand, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
