- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

Common problems we fix in Stoke Hammond
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly and it shows once the home is in use.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
Around Stoke Hammond, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Questions from Stoke Hammond
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bletchley station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Stoke Hammond in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Stoke Hammond is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Should I wait before resealing?
Any seal that’s leaking should be redone right away. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
How long does new build mastic take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours in a single home. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there, food-safe where it’s needed.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Record problems with dated photos
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours in a single home, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Stoke Hammond, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it won’t bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Around Stoke Hammond, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
