How we handle new build mastic in Bockmer End
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over. If you’re dealing with worktop and upstand sealant coming away and new-build shower sealant that has already split, we can help, on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers alike.
Older homes in small places like Bockmer End often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.

Signs you need new build mastic in Bockmer End
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
If you’ve bought a new home near Marlow station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What insurance they hold
- What preparation is included
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
