Little Hungerford New Build Mastic
Plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Little Hungerford. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
Surface by surface
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
How we handle new build mastic in Little Hungerford
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks rather than sitting on a layer of grit. Common call-outs are for cracked sealant around new window and door frames and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, across windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors.
Older homes in small places like Little Hungerford often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is usually left for about a day before water reaches them.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Broken tiles or a split tray
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Common questions in Little Hungerford
I let a flat near Newbury Racecourse station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Little Hungerford within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
What does new build mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Little Hungerford, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Preparing for the visit

- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any parking rules near the property
