New-build mastic & snagging in Rush Green, Hertfordshire
Our applicators work in Rush Green on plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
New build mastic in Rush Green, done properly
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. Common call-outs are for gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and cracked caulk along new skirting, across skirting & floors, show homes and windows & doors.
Somewhere as small as Rush Green, 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.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Do you need new build mastic in Rush Green?
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Internal frame sealant that has split
If you’ve bought a new home near Stevenage station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant.
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
