How we handle new build mastic in Crookham
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks. We work on bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and windows & doors, and people most often call us about frame joints opening as the plaster dries and skirting joints opening in the first winter.
In a village or hamlet like Crookham, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Your questions about new build mastic in Crookham
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Thatcham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Crookham for new build mastic?
Yes, Crookham is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
Any seal that is leaking should be redone right away. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.

How we quote for new build mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The amount of work
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The address or postcode of the job
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. A kitchen sealant goes in there suited to the job.
Leave it or put it right?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few photos and we’ll give you a straight answer. In a small place like Crookham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

Common problems we fix in Crookham
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly and it shows once the home is in use.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
Around Crookham, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
