How we handle new build mastic in Aldermaston Wharf
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Aldermaston Wharf. 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. We work on skirting & floors, kitchens and plot handovers, and people most often call us about kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list.
Around Aldermaston Wharf, 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.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Aldermaston Wharf, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What you get with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Tidy, careful work
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Rated 4.9 stars on Google

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Aldermaston Wharf questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aldermaston station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Aldermaston Wharf within the area you cover?
Yes, Aldermaston Wharf is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we seal
