How we handle new build mastic in Steeple Barton
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We are often asked to deal with gaps between new skirting and floors and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, on kitchens, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites.
Older homes in small places like Steeple Barton often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Do you need new build mastic in Steeple Barton?
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
Around Steeple Barton, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours in a single home, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Steeple Barton, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
Ask for a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is generally left for about a day to cure enough for use.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.

Why deal with it now?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. In a small place like Steeple Barton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

- Every job guaranteed for a year
- 180+ five-star Google reviews
