New build mastic in Sandon
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. If you’re dealing with internal frame sealant that has split and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can help, on show homes, windows & doors and kitchens alike.
For a small place like Sandon, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Sandon and everywhere else we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sandon
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
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 in a matching colour.
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Do you need new build mastic in Sandon?
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly.
The most common problems we see are:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
Around Sandon, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas 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.
New build mastic in Sandon: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For new homes near Ashwell & Morden station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
