Different surfaces, different methods
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed so the sealant lasts.
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
About our new build mastic in Turnford
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation, because that is what rushed new-build sealant normally lacks. If you have internal frame sealant that has split and gaps between new skirting and floors, we can put it right, on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and kitchens alike.
In and around Turnford, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Quotes for new build mastic in Turnford
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How much there is to do
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

Leave it or put it right?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. In a smaller place like Turnford, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
Why Turnford customers choose us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Record problems with dated pictures
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
Turnford: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Cheshunt station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Turnford within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send the schedule and any specification and we’ll give you a quote.
What does new build mastic cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If they’re slow or the fix does not last, we can help.
When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Plot handovers
- Windows & doors
- Bathrooms & en suites

Do you need new build mastic in Turnford?
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
In and around Turnford, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Are they insured?
- Who turns up on the day
How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours in a single home in most cases. A visit to Turnford is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- 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.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
