New build mastic in Boveney, done properly
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 reaches anything behind it. Common call-outs are for cracked sealant around new window and door frames and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, on plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors.
Older homes in small places like Boveney often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

Boveney: your questions answered
I let a flat near Windsor & Eton Central station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Boveney in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Boveney is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Report it to the builder first while you are covered. Once that’s done, or if they won’t put it right, we can reseal it properly.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
How long does new build mastic 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 tell you how long to expect.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Why act early in Boveney
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Boveney, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.
Why us?
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
