- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Ridgewell
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover using the right product for each joint. If you have joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can put it right, on windows & doors, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites alike.
Around Ridgewell, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, 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’re covered after we’ve gone.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time and most come down to preparation. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ridgewell, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere like Ridgewell needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any parking rules near the property

When to call us in Ridgewell
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.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
Around Ridgewell, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they hold
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether you can choose the colour
Your questions about new build mastic in Ridgewell
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Ridgewell?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Ridgewell for new build mastic?
Yes, Ridgewell is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
