New build mastic in West Hyde
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We work on plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and show homes, and people most often call us about untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and cracked caulk along new skirting.
Older homes in small places like West Hyde often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots.

- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.

When to call us in West Hyde
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
In and around West Hyde, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What to look for in a quote
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether they’re fully insured
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Landlord and commercial work in West Hyde
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
