About our new build mastic in Lower Assendon
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. Typical jobs include worktop and upstand sealant coming away and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, on show homes, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites.
Around Lower Assendon, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What else we do in Lower Assendon
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is normally left for about a day.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots in most cases. Somewhere as small as Lower Assendon, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Will you come out to Lower Assendon?
Yes. Lower Assendon is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Any seal that is leaking should be redone straight away. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, then clean and prime the joint, and a new bead applied.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

Signs you need new build mastic in Lower Assendon
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry before the sealant goes on.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
Around Lower Assendon, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book

Leave it or put it right?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but water getting through cannot. If you’re unsure which you have, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with photos. In a small place like Lower Assendon, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
