New build mastic in Bury's Bank, done properly
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Bury's Bank. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We work on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps between new skirting and floors and sealant work across a run of new homes.
Older homes in small places like Bury's Bank often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Bury's Bank as everywhere else we work.

What else we do in Bury's Bank
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out 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.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

Do you need new build mastic in Bury's Bank?
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
For new homes near Newbury Racecourse station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Are they insured?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is generally left for about a day.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant.
Why act early in Bury's Bank
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is normally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote. Around Bury's Bank, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
