How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Whitehill, 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 we start.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Whitehill
Across Whitehill, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you are dealing with sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Whitehill, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Why act early in Whitehill
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 Whitehill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

How the job changes by surface
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. Dust from the build is removed first and prime where the product needs it.
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. We use a flexible product rather than caulk painted or coloured to suit.

What else we do in Whitehill
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What affects the quote in Whitehill
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much there is to do
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The rough size of the job
We do not publish a price list. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Signs you need new build mastic in Whitehill
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracks appear in the sealant.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
Around Whitehill, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
