How we handle new build mastic in Brimpton
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. Typical jobs include sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and cracks appearing as a new home settles, across plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens.
Older homes in small places like Brimpton often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. We use a sealant suited to kitchens suited to the job.
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
Joints and finishes in Brimpton homes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Around Brimpton, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Midgham station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Brimpton
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Midgham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you do new build mastic in Brimpton?
Yes, Brimpton is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours in a single home. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. The old sealant always comes out first.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and the new finishes intact.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. For a village or hamlet like Brimpton, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
