New-build mastic & snagging in Loudwater, Buckinghamshire

- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How we handle new build mastic in Loudwater
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, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant normally lacks. Typical jobs include untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, on show homes, skirting & floors and windows & doors.
In smaller places like Loudwater, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Loudwater and across Buckinghamshire.

When to call us in Loudwater
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and can tear.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
In and around Loudwater, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish to a tidy standard. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant.
