New build mastic for homes and businesses in Hungerford
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. We work on plot handovers, kitchens and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and frame joints opening as the plaster dries.
In a village or hamlet like Hungerford, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Why act early in Hungerford
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In a small place like Hungerford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

What new build mastic looks like in Hungerford

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
Signs you need new build mastic in Hungerford
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
In and around Hungerford, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
