Advice
New build mastic in Buckingham
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation, because that is what rushed new-build sealant generally lacks. If you have kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, we can help.
In a town like Buckingham, skirting and floor joints open up as homes settle and floors move with the seasons. A flexible sealant, rather than rigid filler, keeps those joints closed.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What else we do in Buckingham
For landlords and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What the job involves on each 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
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
FAQs for Buckingham
What’s the best way to get a price for new build mastic in Buckingham?
The easiest way is to ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job. You’ll get a clear, fixed price before any work starts.
Can you do new build mastic in Buckingham?
Yes, Buckingham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
It depends on the joint: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We’ll agree it with you first.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it with our 12-month guarantee.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
New homes and floors in Buckingham
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much there is to do
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the property is
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
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.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
