What affects the quote in Almshouse Green
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Access and height
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

New build mastic in Almshouse Green
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Almshouse Green. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We are often asked to deal with messy sealant that spoils new finishes and sealant that never bonded to the surface, across kitchens, show homes and plot handovers.
Somewhere as small as Almshouse Green, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Almshouse Green as everywhere else we work.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Almshouse Green
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
What new build mastic looks like in Almshouse Green

When it is not the sealant

- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath

- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Signs you need new build mastic in Almshouse Green
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
For jobs in and around Almshouse Green, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
