How we handle new build mastic in Great Shoddesden
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first. Common call-outs are for cracked caulk along new skirting and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, across show homes, windows & doors and plot handovers.
Work in a small place like Great Shoddesden just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work generally takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere as small as Great Shoddesden, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any tricky access
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
What we are called out for in Great Shoddesden
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
In and around Great Shoddesden, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What to look for in a quote
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Why deal with it now?
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. In a small place like Great Shoddesden, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Full insurance on every job
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
Your questions about new build mastic in Great Shoddesden
I let a flat near Grateley station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Great Shoddesden in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Great Shoddesden is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We will agree it with you first.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
Joints and finishes in Great Shoddesden homes
