About our new build mastic in North Charford
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. Common call-outs are for frame joints opening as the plaster dries and second-fix sealing on new plots, on show homes, kitchens and plot handovers.
For a small place like North Charford, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Common questions in North Charford

Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early as timber and plaster dry out. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Why deal with it now?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like North Charford, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How the job changes by surface
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one.
Signs you need new build mastic in North Charford
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.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
Whether the job is in North Charford itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
