About our new build mastic in Sturry
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference. We work on show homes, kitchens and windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are internal frame sealant that has split and new-build shower sealant that has already split.
In smaller places like Sturry, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.
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.

What affects the quote in Sturry

- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
If you’re in Sturry and need new build mastic, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and you’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a smaller place like Sturry, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send it with pictures and we’ll quote for the sealant items. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
