About our new build mastic in Beansheaf Farm
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We work on kitchens, windows & doors and show homes, and the jobs we see most are untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles.
Homes around Beansheaf Farm range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Beansheaf Farm and across West Berkshire.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry and can be resealed later.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. Dust from the build is removed first and prime where the product needs it.
Beansheaf Farm: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Theale station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Beansheaf Farm for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Beansheaf Farm is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
How long does new build mastic take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Should I go to my builder first?
If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If it isn’t sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What happens if it’s left?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. Around Beansheaf Farm, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
