About our new build mastic in Salden
Across Salden, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. We work on windows & doors, skirting & floors and show homes, and the jobs we see most are cracks appearing as a new home settles and skirting joints opening in the first winter.
Older homes in small places like Salden often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere like Salden 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.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Related advice
Why act early in Salden
The builder is usually the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Salden, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

How long does new build mastic take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours in a single home. We will tell you when we quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send the list and a few photos of the sealant items and we will give you a quote. We will tell you if anything on it isn’t a sealant job.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What we’re called out for in Salden
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open.
Look out for these signs:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
In and around Salden, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How we quote for new build mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
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.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How we’d reach the joints

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Broken tiles or a split tray
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
