New build mastic in Newick, done properly
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We work on windows & doors, plot handovers and show homes, and common reasons people get in touch are worktop and upstand sealant coming away and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging.
Older homes in small places like Newick often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

How the job changes by surface
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Signs you need new build mastic in Newick
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
In and around Newick, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Leave it or put it right?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is usually simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times. Around Newick, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
