What we are called out for in Speenhamland
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
In and around Speenhamland, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

About our new build mastic in Speenhamland
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant normally lacks. Typical jobs include second-fix sealing on new plots and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, across windows & doors, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites.
Homes around Speenhamland range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Your questions about new build mastic in Speenhamland
Can you do new build mastic in Speenhamland?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Speenhamland is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Newbury station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If they’re slow or the fix does not last, we can help.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Record problems with dated photos
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can damage the surface.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Why act early in Speenhamland
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Around Speenhamland, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
What you get with us
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours in a single home, depending on how much there is to do. For a job in Speenhamland, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
