New Build Mastic in Whitewood
Problem with your new-build sealant joints in Whitewood? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is usually left for about a day before water reaches them.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Whitewood
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference. We work on windows & doors, skirting & floors and show homes, and people most often call us about gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and internal frame sealant that has split.
Around Whitewood, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Whitewood as everywhere else we work.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. In a small place like Whitewood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
What sealant work cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Broken tiles or a split tray
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Common problems we fix in Whitewood
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
For new homes near Godstone station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
