How we handle new build mastic in Shottesbrooke
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We work on skirting & floors, show homes and plot handovers, and people most often call us about leaking shower tray seals in a new home and cracked sealant around new window and door frames.
Older homes in small places like Shottesbrooke often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Follow the cure time we give you
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
How the job changes by surface
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
Can I do it myself?
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours in a single home. For a village or hamlet like Shottesbrooke, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- 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.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Signs you need new build mastic in Shottesbrooke
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry before the sealant goes on.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
Around Shottesbrooke, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

Shottesbrooke: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Twyford station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Shottesbrooke?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
How long does new build mastic take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
