How we handle new build mastic in Stanton Harcourt
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. We work on plot handovers, windows & doors and show homes, and the jobs we see most are frame joints opening as the plaster dries and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build.
Work in a small place like Stanton Harcourt just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Common problems we fix in Stanton Harcourt
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracked sealant shows up.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
In and around Stanton Harcourt, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Landlord and commercial work in Stanton Harcourt
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Your questions about new build mastic in Stanton Harcourt
Is Stanton Harcourt within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do new build mastic in Stanton Harcourt?
Yes, Stanton Harcourt is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We agree the colour before we start.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
