New build mastic in East Garston Woodlands, done properly
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We are often asked to deal with shower seals failing in the first year or two and internal frame sealant that has split, across bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and skirting & floors.
Work in a small place like East Garston Woodlands just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.

How we quote for new build mastic
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it’s a home or a business
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small.

How do I get a quote for new build mastic in East Garston Woodlands?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one that suits the frame.
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a small place like East Garston Woodlands, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
Related advice
Signs you need new build mastic in East Garston Woodlands
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
For new homes near Hungerford station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
