New build mastic for homes and businesses in Bray Wick
Across Bray Wick, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We work on plot handovers, windows & doors and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and gaps between new skirting and floors.
Somewhere as small as Bray Wick, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere like Bray Wick needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
Getting a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Advice
What affects the quote in Bray Wick
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.

Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common, because the house is drying and settling. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
When to call us in Bray Wick
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry before the sealant goes on.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
If you’ve bought a new home near Maidenhead station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Are they insured?
- How the colour is chosen
Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Why act early in Bray Wick
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. Around Bray Wick, 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 guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before we start.
