New build mastic for homes and businesses in Norcott Hill
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. Common call-outs are for gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, on windows & doors, kitchens and show homes.
For a small place like Norcott Hill, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
