New build mastic for homes and businesses in The Mint
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. If you are dealing with sealant that never bonded to the surface and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, we can put it right, on show homes, skirting & floors and kitchens alike.
For a small place like The Mint, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Signs you need new build mastic in The Mint
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
Around The Mint, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether VAT is included
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What happens if the job turns out different
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 anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere like The Mint needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Your questions about new build mastic in The Mint
Do you cover The Mint for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and The Mint is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like The Mint?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
There are normally two causes: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- How much there is to do
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job.
What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed to keep callbacks down.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Leave it or put it right?
If you’re still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like The Mint, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
