New build mastic in Amen Corner, done properly
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly rather than sitting on a layer of grit. If you are dealing with leaking shower tray seals in a new home and sealant that never bonded to the surface, we can help, on kitchens, skirting & floors and plot handovers alike.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Amen Corner, it’s often a small development or a single plot. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Landlord and commercial work in Amen Corner
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
- Access and height
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it has been sealed before
- A few photos by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours in a single home. A visit to Amen Corner is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.

What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
New homes and floors in Amen Corner
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Bracknell, which Amen Corner is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Bracknell has kept growing, with newer neighbourhoods added to the original town. Older homes need their sealant and floor joints renewing, newer ones checking at snagging.
For new homes near Bracknell station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

What we are called out for in Amen Corner
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak, and the problem shows up after you move in.
Look out for any of the following:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
Around Amen Corner, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Questions from Amen Corner
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bracknell station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Amen Corner?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
It depends on whether water is getting through. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
