How we handle new build mastic in Breeds
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. If you have shower seals failing in the first year or two and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like Breeds just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Windows & doors
- Plot handovers
- Kitchens
- Skirting & floors
- Show homes
- Bathrooms & en suites
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
What affects the quote in Breeds
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of sealant required
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Why deal with it now?
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Breeds, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Old sealant always removed completely
- More than 20 years in sealant work
