New build mastic for Salfords and the surrounding area: careful preparation, the right product and tidy work. Call for a quick quote.
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
About our new build mastic in Salfords
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. If you have worktop and upstand sealant coming away and skirting joints opening in the first winter, we can help, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like Salfords just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours in a single home, including the tidy-up. Somewhere as small as Salfords, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky

- Windows & doors
- Kitchens
- Show homes
- Skirting & floors
- Plot handovers
- Bathrooms & en suites
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed so the sealant lasts.
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish ready for viewings. We will plan around viewing times.

Common problems we fix in Salfords
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
Around Salfords, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
