New build mastic in Tinkers Cross
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover with a sealant suited to each area. Common call-outs are for kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and new-build shower sealant that has already split, on plot handovers, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites.
Somewhere as small as Tinkers Cross, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

New homes and floors in Tinkers Cross

Whether the job is in Tinkers Cross itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. Around Tinkers Cross, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.

How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. We reseal once the old bead is fully out with baths filled first.
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish ready for viewings. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
The process
Good joint work is mostly 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 a few hours in a single home. Somewhere as small as Tinkers Cross, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.

Leave it or put it right?
The builder is usually the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Older cottages and farmhouses around Tinkers Cross can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
