- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
About our new build mastic in Hyde Heath
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 have cracked caulk along new skirting and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, we can help.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
New homes and floors in Hyde Heath
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For new homes near Amersham station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

When to call us in Hyde Heath
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
Around Hyde Heath, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which colour the sealant will be
- The length of the guarantee
What affects the cost of new build mastic
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out

- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before any work starts.

- A few pictures by email, if you can

Questions from Hyde Heath
Do you cover smaller places like Hyde Heath?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Amersham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
How much does new build mastic cost in Hyde Heath?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Why act early in Hyde Heath
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. In a small place like Hyde Heath, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
