New build mastic for homes and businesses in Buscot
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you have sealant work across a run of new homes and gaps between new skirting and floors, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Buscot, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Do you need new build mastic in Buscot?
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and can tear.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
In and around Buscot, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- What insurance they hold
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there.
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
What affects the quote in Buscot
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- The type of property
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Broken tiles or a split tray
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Skirting & floors
- Show homes
- Kitchens
- Plot handovers
- Windows & doors
- Bathrooms & en suites
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours in a single home, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Buscot needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
Getting a quote
