New build mastic for homes and businesses in Swanbourne
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. If you are dealing with frame joints opening as the plaster dries and shower seals failing in the first year or two, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Swanbourne, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Swanbourne
Do you cover Swanbourne for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Swanbourne is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is new build mastic in Swanbourne guaranteed?
All our work, in Swanbourne and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
What does new build mastic cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. The old sealant always comes out first.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one that suits the frame.
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Swanbourne, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- 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.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you, so raise it early.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

Around Swanbourne, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. For jobs in and around Swanbourne, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote

Leave it or put it right?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal cannot. If you’re unsure which you have, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with photos and we’ll tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Swanbourne can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- A choice of colours where the product allows
