About our new build mastic in Stelling Minnis
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We’re often asked to deal with gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and cracked caulk along new skirting, on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and skirting & floors.
Around Stelling Minnis, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What new build mastic looks like in Stelling Minnis
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In and around Stelling Minnis, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray in the first few weeks. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.

Stelling Minnis: your questions answered
Can you do new build mastic in Stelling Minnis?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Stelling Minnis is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is new build mastic in Stelling Minnis guaranteed?

What does new build mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
It’s common, and there are generally two reasons: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with photos if you can and we will give you a quote. We will tell you if anything on it is not a sealant job.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

When to call us in Stelling Minnis
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Neither lasts long.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
For jobs in and around Stelling Minnis, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.

Advice
What we can’t put right

- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Broken tiles or a split tray
