New build mastic for homes and businesses in Beacon's Bottom
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly. Typical jobs include new-build shower sealant that has already split and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, on kitchens, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites.
Older homes in small places like Beacon's Bottom often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What affects the quote in Beacon's Bottom
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:

What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Beacon's Bottom, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
