About our new build mastic in Shedfield
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation. Common call-outs are for second-fix sealing on new plots and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, across plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens.
Work in a small place like Shedfield just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours in a single home, depending on how much there is to do. For a village or hamlet like Shedfield, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
What affects the cost of new build mastic
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.

What does new build mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common as timber and plaster dry out. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
What happens if it’s left?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot and most come down to preparation. In a small place like Shedfield, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
