New build mastic for homes and businesses in Shenington
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. If you have cracked sealant around new window and door frames and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can help, on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and plot handovers alike.
Work in a small place like Shenington just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Shenington and everywhere else we cover.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Shenington, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What new build mastic looks like in Shenington
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
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.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Broken tiles or a split tray
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- A few pictures by email, if you can
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shenington
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal cannot. If you’re unsure which you have, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with pictures and we’ll tell you. Around Shenington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

Your questions about new build mastic in Shenington
Can you do new build mastic in Shenington?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Shenington is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Shenington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
It’s common, and there are usually two reasons: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
White and clear are the most common, but other colours are available. We choose one to suit the room.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you need new build mastic in Shenington?
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
Around Shenington, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
