New build mastic for homes and businesses in South Stifford
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. If you have sealant work across a run of new homes and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, we can help, on windows & doors, skirting & floors and show homes alike.
In smaller places like South Stifford, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
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.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath

Why it’s worth doing now in South Stifford
The builder is generally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. In an older home around South Stifford, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Parking around South Stifford is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
