About our new build mastic in Outwood
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. If you’re dealing with gaps behind new kitchen upstands and sealant work across a run of new homes, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Outwood, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
Leave it or put it right?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Outwood can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Show homes
- Kitchens
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Plot handovers
- Skirting & floors
- Windows & doors
What we’re called out for in Outwood
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry.
Look out for any of the following:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
For new homes near Salfords station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

- What insurance they hold
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it

What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
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.
