How we handle new build mastic in Swerford
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We work on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and kitchens, and the jobs we see most are second-fix sealing on new plots and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks.
Older homes in small places like Swerford often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether the work is at height
- The product the joint needs
- Working hours on commercial sites
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If someone has resealed it before
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.

Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it will not bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Swerford, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Every job guaranteed for a year
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can damage the surface.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant.
FAQs for Swerford
Will you come out to Swerford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Swerford?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Should I wait before resealing?
Any seal that is leaking should be redone right away. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
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 rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.

- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
