New build mastic for homes and businesses in Newtown
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. If you have cracked caulk along new skirting and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, we can help.
For a small place like Newtown, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Newtown
Is new build mastic in Newtown guaranteed?
All our work, in Newtown and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Newtown in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Newtown is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send us the plot schedule and we’ll quote.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
Joints and finishes in Newtown homes
Newtown is within about 1 mile of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In and around Newtown, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Windows & doors
- Kitchens
- Skirting & floors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Show homes
- Plot handovers
What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one.
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
Signs you need new build mastic in Newtown
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and the sealant may split.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
Whether the job is in Newtown itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee

- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
