Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We will go through the sealant items and agree what we will do.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
How long does new build mastic take?

What colour sealant will you use?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We choose one to suit the room.
Should I go to my builder first?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If they’re slow or the fix doesn’t last, we can help.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in.

If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.

Advice
Quotes for new build mastic in Northaw
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll talk you through it.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints
- The address or postcode of the job
If you’re in Northaw and need new build mastic, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
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.

Letting agents and landlords in Northaw can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.

Why deal with it now?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. Older cottages and farmhouses around Northaw can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why book with us
- We never seal over old sealant
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
