How we handle new build mastic in Goring
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first, and if it is not put right, get in touch with us. If you’re dealing with shower seals failing in the first year or two and gaps between new skirting and floors, we can put it right, on skirting & floors, show homes and kitchens alike.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Goring, it’s often a small development or a single plot. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.

Signs you need new build mastic in Goring
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Internal frame sealant that has split
For new homes near Goring & Streatley station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Is VAT in the price?
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Who turns up on the day
Why act early in Goring
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. In a smaller place like Goring, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours in a single home. In a smaller place like Goring, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- 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.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
