New build mastic in Norton Mandeville
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We work on windows & doors, plot handovers and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about gaps between new skirting and floors and cracked sealant around new window and door frames.
Around Norton Mandeville, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Advice
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops

Do you need new build mastic in Norton Mandeville?
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracks appear in the sealant.
Look out for any of the following:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
For jobs in and around Norton Mandeville, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
What happens if it’s left?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but water getting through can’t. If you’re unsure which you have, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with photos. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Norton Mandeville, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Quotes for new build mastic in Norton Mandeville
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The amount of work

Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- A few photos by email, if you can
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
