About our new build mastic in Sandy Cross
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We work on skirting & floors, plot handovers and show homes, and people most often call us about cracked caulk along new skirting and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks.
Work in a small place like Sandy Cross just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.
How we quote for new build mastic
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How we’d reach the joints
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The type of property
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Surface by surface
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. We reseal once the old bead is fully out.

The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracked sealant shows up.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
In and around Sandy Cross, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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.
The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere as small as Sandy Cross, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us if parking is tricky
