Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is generally left for about a day to cure enough for use.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
New build mastic in Bradwell Abbey, done properly
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We work on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps between new skirting and floors and sealant work across a run of new homes.
In a village or hamlet like Bradwell Abbey, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Bradwell Abbey: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Milton Keynes Central station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Bradwell Abbey within the area you cover?
Yes. Bradwell Abbey is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
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.
New homes and floors in Bradwell Abbey
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Milton Keynes, which Bradwell Abbey is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Milton Keynes has kept growing, with newer neighbourhoods added to the original town. Older homes need their sealant and floor joints renewing, newer ones checking at snagging.
For new homes near Milton Keynes Central station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Why act early in Bradwell Abbey
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bradwell Abbey, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Do you need new build mastic in Bradwell Abbey?
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
Around Bradwell Abbey, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
