New-build mastic & snagging in Baker's Wood, Buckinghamshire
We cover Baker's Wood for plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Baker's Wood
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Baker's Wood. 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. If you have messy sealant that spoils new finishes and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Baker's Wood, 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.

Baker's Wood questions
Is Baker's Wood in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Baker's Wood is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Baker's Wood?
Yes. Baker's Wood is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours in a single home, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to the old layer, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We will agree it with you first.
Common problems we fix in Baker's Wood
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
In and around Baker's Wood, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.

How we quote for new build mastic

What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant that suits the frame.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere as small as Baker's Wood, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any parking rules near the property
