New build mastic in Plaish, done properly
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks. We work on skirting & floors, show homes and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are shower seals failing in the first year or two and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build.
Somewhere as small as Plaish, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere as small as Plaish, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Leave it or put it right?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote. In a small place like Plaish, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
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.
Why Plaish customers choose us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- 20+ years of sealant experience

- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
- Working hours on commercial sites

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it.
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
