How we handle new build mastic in Stanway
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks. We are often asked to deal with cracked caulk along new skirting and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, on skirting & floors, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites.
Somewhere as small as Stanway, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
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.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
How we quote for new build mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The address or postcode of the job
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job, and photos are welcome.

Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it.
