New build mastic for homes and businesses in Shadoxhurst
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over with a sealant suited to each area. If you are dealing with frame joints opening as the plaster dries and second-fix sealing on new plots, we can put it right.
Around Shadoxhurst, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Shadoxhurst, access is normally the main thing to plan. 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.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

How much does new build mastic cost in Shadoxhurst?

What happens if it’s left?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times to plan around. In a small place like Shadoxhurst, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What you get with us
- Tidy, careful work
- Colour picked to suit the job

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
What we are called out for in Shadoxhurst
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracked sealant shows up.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
If you’ve bought a new home near Ham Street station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
