About our new build mastic in Littlestead Green
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. If you are dealing with gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and cracked caulk along new skirting, we can put it right, on show homes, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites alike.
Around Littlestead Green, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it will not bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Around Littlestead Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Over 20 years’ experience

What we are called out for in Littlestead Green
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and can tear.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
For new homes near Reading station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is normally left for about a day to cure enough for use.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
