New build mastic in Padworth, done properly
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We work on skirting & floors, windows & doors and kitchens, and people most often call us about skirting joints opening in the first winter and sealant that never bonded to the surface.
Older homes in small places like Padworth often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Do you need new build mastic in Padworth?
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open, and sealant that can’t keep up splits.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
In and around Padworth, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

For anyone letting property in or around Padworth, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Follow the cure time we give you
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.
Why act early in Padworth
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through can’t. If you are unsure which you have, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with photos and we’ll give you a straight answer. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Padworth, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What you get with us
- Fully insured
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
