New Build Mastic in Shide
New-build sealant joints in Shide need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.

- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
How we handle new build mastic in Shide
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. If you’re dealing with kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and cracked caulk along new skirting, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a new home in or near Shide, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.

What affects the quote in Shide
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number of rooms or windows
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The type of property
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Why act early in Shide
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few pictures and we’ll tell you. Around Shide, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Why us?
- You choose the colour before work begins
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

Signs you need new build mastic in Shide
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
Whether the job is in Shide itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours in a single home. In a smaller place like Shide, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
