New build mastic for homes and businesses in Beenham Stocks
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. If you’re dealing with cracks appearing as a new home settles and new-build shower sealant that has already split, we can help, on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and kitchens alike.
Somewhere as small as Beenham Stocks, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

When it is not the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots in most cases. Somewhere as small as Beenham Stocks, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Why it’s worth doing now in Beenham Stocks
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is usually simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times for the lot. Around Beenham Stocks, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.
Why us?
- We’re fully insured
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

Can you work from my snagging list?

How long before the joint can be used?

Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- 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.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
