New build mastic in Orlestone, done properly
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over. We work on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are skirting joints opening in the first winter and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces.
Around Orlestone, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
It’s common, and there are usually two reasons: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
What new build mastic looks like in Orlestone
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For new homes near Ham Street station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Orlestone
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
When to call us in Orlestone
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
Around Orlestone, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
