What affects the cost of new build mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much there is to do
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

Do you need new build mastic in Barkham?
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, so the bead never bonds properly.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
If you’ve bought a new home near Wokingham station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Surface by surface
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames ready for viewings. We’ll plan around viewing times.
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one that suits the frame.
Leave it or put it right?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot and most come down to preparation. Around Barkham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- You choose the colour before work begins

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere as small as Barkham, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
