What affects the quote in Skinners Green
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
New build mastic in Skinners Green, done properly
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. If you have sealant work across a run of new homes and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Skinners Green, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Why deal with it now?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Skinners Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Why us?
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
New homes and floors in Skinners Green
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Around Skinners Green, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Newbury station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.

Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.

Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a small place like Skinners Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. 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 down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
