New build mastic in Sutton Abinger, done properly
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We work on show homes, windows & doors and skirting & floors, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked sealant around new window and door frames and cracked caulk along new skirting.
For a small place like Sutton Abinger, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
Common problems we fix in Sutton Abinger
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
In and around Sutton Abinger, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What preparation is included
- What the cure time is
- How much experience the applicator has
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Sutton Abinger, access is usually 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.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in

Why deal with it now?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Around Sutton Abinger, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What you get with us
- Full insurance on every job
- Colour picked to suit the job

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
