- Any mould that needs treating
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Stroud Common
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. Typical jobs include untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and cracked caulk along new skirting, across skirting & floors, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites.
Around Stroud Common, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Stroud Common and everywhere else we cover.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Stroud Common, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites

Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. We use a sealant suited to kitchens suited to the job.

What else we do in Stroud Common
Why it’s worth doing now in Stroud Common
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot and most come down to preparation. In a small place like Stroud Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Common problems we fix in Stroud Common
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and can tear.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
In and around Stroud Common, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
