About our new build mastic in Sandon
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. We work on windows & doors, skirting & floors and show homes, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces.
Around Sandon, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Sandon as everywhere else we work.

Why act early in Sandon
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it will not bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. In a small place like Sandon, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

How it 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 a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Sandon, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

When to call us in Sandon
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
The most common problems we see are:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
In and around Sandon, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What insurance they hold
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.
