New build mastic for homes and businesses in Priestwood
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. Common call-outs are for joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, across skirting & floors, show homes and windows & doors.
Somewhere as small as Priestwood, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Around Priestwood, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.
Why book with us
- 12-month guarantee on every job

What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like Priestwood, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Common questions in Priestwood
Is Priestwood within the area you cover?
Yes, Priestwood is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Priestwood in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Priestwood is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, then clean and prime the joint, before resealing.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one in a matching colour.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is usually left for about a day to cure enough for use.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.
New homes and floors in Priestwood

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.
