New build mastic for homes and businesses in Stockcross
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over using the right product for each joint. If you’re dealing with cracked caulk along new skirting and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, we can put it right, on skirting & floors, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites alike.
Somewhere as small as Stockcross, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

Can you do plot mastic on a new development?

Should I go to my builder first?

How long will you be here?

When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
What colour sealant will you use?
It depends on the joint: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We agree the colour before any work starts.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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 we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Stockcross, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stockcross
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
