New Build Mastic in Stratton Audley
Specialist new build mastic for Stratton Audley: the right sealant, proper preparation and a neat finish. Call for a quick quote.
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Stratton Audley
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. If you are dealing with internal frame sealant that has split and sealant that never bonded to the surface, we can help.
Around Stratton Audley, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

The process

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, opening gaps behind the upstand. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification for a quote. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors as agreed.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray in the first few weeks. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
