New-build mastic & snagging in Ellesborough, Buckinghamshire
Problem with your new-build sealant joints in Ellesborough? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Ellesborough
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over. Common call-outs are for sealant that never bonded to the surface and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, across skirting & floors, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites.
Somewhere as small as Ellesborough, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal cannot. If you are unsure which you have, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with photos and we will tell you. In a small place like Ellesborough, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What you get with us
- A choice of colours where the product allows

How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
How the job changes by surface
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.

Advice
What we are called out for in Ellesborough
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, so the bead never bonds properly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
If you’ve bought a new home near Little Kimble station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- Are they insured?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
