New build mastic in Caversham Heights, done properly
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. We are often asked to deal with messy sealant that spoils new finishes and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, on windows & doors, show homes and plot handovers.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Caversham Heights, it’s often a small development or a single plot. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Do you need new build mastic in Caversham Heights?
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
If you’ve bought a new home near Reading station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture doesn’t sit on the sealant.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.

Leave it or put it right?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote to plan around. Around Caversham Heights, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
