How we handle new build mastic in Finmere
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first and if that stalls, we can do it. Typical jobs include untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and internal frame sealant that has split, across skirting & floors, windows & doors and kitchens.
For a small place like Finmere, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. We reseal once the old bead is fully out.
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.

New build mastic around Finmere

In and around Finmere, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Whether the job is in Finmere itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Why it’s worth doing now in Finmere
The builder is normally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. In a small place like Finmere, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Is Finmere within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
How much does new build mastic cost in Finmere?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Record problems with dated photos
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
