The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Newnham Murren, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- 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’re given the cure time.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
About our new build mastic in Newnham Murren
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. Typical jobs include joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and sealant that never bonded to the surface, on plot handovers, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites.
In a village or hamlet like Newnham Murren, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Should I try it myself first?
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 difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
What new build mastic looks like in Newnham Murren
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For new homes near Cholsey station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. In and around Newnham Murren, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What affects the quote in Newnham Murren
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The amount of work
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any mould that needs treating
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is normally left for about a day before water reaches them.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
Why act early in Newnham Murren
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. In a small place like Newnham Murren, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
