Poundon New Build Mastic
New build mastic across Poundon and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it won’t bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In a small place like Poundon, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

New build mastic in Poundon, done properly
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference. We work on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and show homes, and the jobs we see most are smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and cracked sealant around new window and door frames.
Work in a small place like Poundon just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder

What affects the cost of new build mastic
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
- The size of the job
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Poundon, 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 look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
