New Build Mastic in Tidmarsh
New build mastic across Tidmarsh and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
How we handle new build mastic in Tidmarsh
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly rather than sitting on a layer of grit. We work on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens, and the jobs we see most are plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and shower seals failing in the first year or two.
Work in a small place like Tidmarsh just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What else we do in Tidmarsh
Can I do it myself?
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.
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.
Tidmarsh questions
Will you come out to Tidmarsh?
Yes, Tidmarsh is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Tidmarsh for new build mastic?
Yes, Tidmarsh is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
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 work begins.
How much does new build mastic cost in Tidmarsh?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Do you need new build mastic in Tidmarsh?
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry first.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes

In and around Tidmarsh, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

- How the colour is chosen

When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem

- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

How we quote for new build mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- How we’d reach the joints
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day.
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.
