What the job involves on each surface

Bathrooms and en suites

En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.

Skirting and floors

Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.

New build mastic in North Stoke

Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks rather than sitting on a layer of grit. If you have untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

Older homes in small places like North Stoke often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.

All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Signs you need new build mastic in North Stoke

Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.

The most common problems we see are:

  • Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
  • Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
  • Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
  • Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list

If you’ve bought a new home near Cholsey station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the cure time is
  • Whether VAT is included
  • Who does the work, and how experienced they are
  • Is the old sealant removed completely?

How to choose a mastic man

North Stoke: your questions answered

Is North Stoke in your area for new build mastic?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and North Stoke is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.

Is North Stoke within the area you cover?

Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

How long should I leave it?

Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.

Do I have to be there?

For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do the sealants smell?

It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.

Should I try DIY first?

Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

What should I tell you?

Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Is it messy?

We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.

When it is not the sealant

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
  • Broken tiles or a split tray
  • Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder

If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we seal

  • Windows & doors
  • Skirting & floors
  • Kitchens
  • Plot handovers
  • Bathrooms & en suites
  • Show homes

Should I try it myself first?

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.

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Keeping the joints in good condition

Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:

  • Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
  • Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
  • Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
  • Use the extractor fan every time you shower

Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture does not sit on the sealant.

Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.

How it works

A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like North Stoke needs a little journey planning: 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.

  1. Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
  2. We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
  3. We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
  4. New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
  5. The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the work
  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
