New homes and floors in Slough
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Around Slough, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. For new homes near Slough station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

About our new build mastic in Slough
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference, because that is what rushed new-build sealant generally lacks. If you’re dealing with sealant that never bonded to the surface and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, we can help, on plot handovers, kitchens and windows & doors alike.
Slough is big enough to have new developments going up alongside its older streets. Snags in sealant and floor joints often show in a new home’s first year or two, as a new house dries out and settles.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.
When it is not the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we seal

- Kitchens
- Bathrooms & en suites

Common questions in Slough
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Slough?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you work for landlords with property near Slough station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Slough?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there, food-safe where it’s needed.
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed.
Landlord and commercial work in Slough
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
Why act early in Slough
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. In a busy place like Slough, a failed joint in a flat or office can send water into the space below, where it’s often found late and is bigger to put right.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- More than 20 years in sealant work
What affects the cost of new build mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- How we’d reach the joints
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We’ll give you a clear price before any work starts.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours in a single home. Commercial jobs in Slough can be planned out of hours where a building cannot close, and homes are booked within our usual hours, Monday to Saturday.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
