How we handle new build mastic in Huntercombe
Across Huntercombe, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. We work on skirting & floors, kitchens and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and cracked sealant around new window and door frames.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Huntercombe, it’s often a small development or a single plot. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Do you need new build mastic in Huntercombe?
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracked sealant shows up.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
For new homes near Burnham station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

What the job involves on each surface
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.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
Why deal with it now?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. In an older home around Huntercombe, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes a few hours in a single home. Parking around Huntercombe is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- 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.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
