How we handle new build mastic in Eton
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first and if that stalls, we can do it. We’re often asked to deal with skirting joints opening in the first winter and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, on skirting & floors, show homes and windows & doors.
For a small place like Eton, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What happens if it’s left?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Eton can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames to a tidy standard. We’ll plan around viewing times.
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.
Common questions in Eton
I let a flat near Windsor & Eton Riverside station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Eton for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Eton is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send the list and a few photos of the sealant items, and we’ll quote. We’ll flag anything that needs another trade.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Report it to the builder first while you’re covered. If it is not resolved, we will cut it out and reseal it.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Eton?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Common problems we fix in Eton
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
Around Eton, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What the cure time is
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Eton
The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. For a village or hamlet like Eton, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
