- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
Do you need new build mastic in Aldermaston Soke?
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Internal frame sealant that has split
If you’ve bought a new home near Aldermaston station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

New build mastic in Aldermaston Soke
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. We work on plot handovers, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are cracked caulk along new skirting and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks.
Work in a small place like Aldermaston Soke just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Aldermaston Soke: your questions answered
I let a flat near Aldermaston station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Aldermaston Soke in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Aldermaston Soke is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

Landlord and commercial work in Aldermaston Soke
Landlords and agents in Aldermaston Soke can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors to the agreed spec.
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
