What new build mastic looks like in Lower Earley

Around Lower Earley, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Earley station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How much there is to do
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a smaller place like Lower Earley, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
Leave it or put it right?
If you’re still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Around Lower Earley, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before any work starts.
Why Lower Earley clients choose us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
