New build mastic in South Moreton
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. We work on windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and show homes, and people most often call us about untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and gaps behind new kitchen upstands.
Work in a small place like South Moreton just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Should I try it myself first?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

Signs you need new build mastic in South Moreton
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry first.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
If you’ve bought a new home near Cholsey station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Common questions in South Moreton

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Yes, South Moreton is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
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.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
What colour sealant will you use?
White and clear are the most common, but other colours are available. We choose one to suit the room.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If they’re slow or the fix does not last, we can help.
What happens on the day

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing and prime where the product needs it.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
