About our new build mastic in Tubney
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. Both get the same care over preparation. We work on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors, and the jobs we see most are plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and cracked sealant around new window and door frames.
Around Tubney, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there, food-safe where it’s needed.
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. We clean out building dust before sealing.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Tubney, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear the area around the work

Why act early in Tubney
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through can’t. If you’re unsure which you have, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with pictures. Around Tubney, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

Questions from Tubney
Do you cover Tubney for new build mastic?
Yes, Tubney is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Tubney?
All our work, in Tubney and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What colour sealant will you use?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We will agree it with you first.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
When to call us in Tubney
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, so the bead never bonds properly.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
Whether the job is in Tubney itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
