Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Paddock
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. If you have skirting joints opening in the first winter and sealant work across a run of new homes, we can help.
Around Paddock, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common problems we fix in Paddock
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
In and around Paddock, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Landlord and commercial work in Paddock
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Can you do new build mastic in Paddock?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Paddock is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?

I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.

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’ll tell you what we are using.

What affects the cost of new build mastic

- Working hours on commercial sites
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is

Why deal with it now?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Older cottages and farmhouses around Paddock can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
