About our new build mastic in Burghfield Hill
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. If you have frame joints opening as the plaster dries and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, we can help, on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and kitchens alike.
For a new home in or near Burghfield Hill, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Burghfield Hill and across West Berkshire.

Quotes for new build mastic in Burghfield Hill
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Working hours on commercial sites

What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The type of property
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before

Why it’s worth doing now in Burghfield Hill
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. Homes in smaller places like Burghfield Hill can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

What does new build mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
How long does new build mastic take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Should I wait before resealing?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

When to call us in Burghfield Hill
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry first.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
Around Burghfield Hill, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.
