New build mastic in Palm Bay, done properly
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. Common call-outs are for second-fix sealing on new plots and cracked caulk along new skirting, across skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens.
Older homes in small places like Palm Bay often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What affects the quote in Palm Bay
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
If you are in Palm Bay and need new build mastic, call 0345 464 0079 or email us. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and you will get a clear quote before work begins.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
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.

Is Palm Bay within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early, because the house is drying and settling. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
Should I wait before resealing?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.

Joints and finishes in Palm Bay homes
Palm Bay is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In and around Palm Bay, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you’ve bought a new home near Margate station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Why it’s worth doing now in Palm Bay
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. In a small place like Palm Bay, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
