New-build mastic & snagging in Tyttenhanger, Hertfordshire
Problem with your new-build sealant joints in Tyttenhanger? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left.
New build mastic in Tyttenhanger, done properly
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Tyttenhanger. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We work on skirting & floors, windows & doors and plot handovers, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant work across a run of new homes and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks.
Older homes in small places like Tyttenhanger often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

When it isn’t the sealant

- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tyttenhanger
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Tyttenhanger, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots in most cases. Somewhere like Tyttenhanger needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
