New build mastic in Lynsore Bottom, done properly
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. We work on skirting & floors, show homes and windows & doors, and people most often call us about joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and sealant that never bonded to the surface.
Around Lynsore Bottom, 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 anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.

Signs you need new build mastic in Lynsore Bottom
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
In and around Lynsore Bottom, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. We reseal once the old bead is fully out.
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.

What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Lynsore Bottom, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. 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, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
