New build mastic in Middle Claydon
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks. We work on skirting & floors, plot handovers and show homes, and people most often call us about gaps behind new kitchen upstands and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover.
In a village or hamlet like Middle Claydon, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
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.

Do you need new build mastic in Middle Claydon?
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracked sealant shows up.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
Whether the job is in Middle Claydon itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who turns up on the day
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is usually left for about a day before water reaches them.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.

Your questions about new build mastic in Middle Claydon
Is new build mastic in Middle Claydon guaranteed?
All our work, in Middle Claydon and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Middle Claydon within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but other colours are available. We choose one to suit the room before we begin.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
There are normally two causes: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in and baths are filled before sealing.
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. The job normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Middle Claydon, 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.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
