- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
New build mastic in Shover's Green
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly. If you have sealant that never bonded to the surface and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Shover's Green, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Shover's Green: your questions answered
Is Shover's Green in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Shover's Green is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Shover's Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Shover's Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How much does new build mastic cost in Shover's Green?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Related advice
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The amount of work
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
