About our new build mastic in Binfield Heath
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We work on kitchens, plot handovers and windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are shower seals failing in the first year or two and cracks appearing as a new home settles.
Work in a small place like Binfield Heath just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Binfield Heath and everywhere else we cover.

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it painted or coloured to suit.
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.

- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Why deal with it now?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Around Binfield Heath, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Questions from Binfield Heath
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Shiplake station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover smaller places like Binfield Heath?
Yes, Binfield Heath is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Should I wait before resealing?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with the builder if you’re in the snagging or warranty period. Once that is done, or if they won’t put it right, we’ll cut it out and reseal it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
