New build mastic for homes and businesses in Ridge
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. If you have gaps behind new kitchen upstands and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, we can help.
For a small place like Ridge, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Ridge and everywhere else we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ridge
Landlords and letting agents in Ridge can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
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.
When to call us in Ridge
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Internal frame sealant that has split
In and around Ridge, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What insurance they hold
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like Ridge, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- 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.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
How to get a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Why act early in Ridge
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ridge 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: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Joints and finishes in Ridge homes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For new homes near Potters Bar station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Surface by surface
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames ready for viewings. We will plan around viewing times.
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. We reseal once the old bead is fully out and baths are filled before sealing.
