New build mastic in Caversham Park Village, done properly
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Caversham Park Village. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We work on kitchens, show homes and bathrooms & en suites, and people most often call us about beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and frame joints opening as the plaster dries.
Homes around Caversham Park Village range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
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.
Common problems we fix in Caversham Park Village
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
For new homes near Reading station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What insurance they hold
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Why deal with it now?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot and most come down to preparation. In an older home around Caversham Park Village, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
How the visit works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on.

A visit to Caversham Park Village is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance.

What colour sealant will you use?

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
