For anyone letting property in or around Puttenham, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
New build mastic in Puttenham
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over using the right product for each joint. We work on windows & doors, skirting & floors and kitchens, and the jobs we see most are sealant work across a run of new homes and internal frame sealant that has split.
In a village or hamlet like Puttenham, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Puttenham and across Hertfordshire.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The rough size of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. Whenever you are ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Follow the cure time we give you
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is usually left for about a day.
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.
Common questions in Puttenham
I let a flat near Cheddington station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you do new build mastic in Puttenham?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Puttenham is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send it with pictures and we’ll quote for the sealant items. If something isn’t sealant, we’ll say so.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send the schedule and any specification and we will give you a quote.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere as small as Puttenham, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

When it isn’t the sealant
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Show homes
- Kitchens
- Windows & doors
- Skirting & floors
- Plot handovers
What happens if it’s left?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. In a small place like Puttenham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why Puttenham clients choose us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- We never seal over old sealant

Common problems we fix in Puttenham
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and the sealant may split.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
For new homes near Cheddington station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What happens if the job turns out different
